The Roman Baths in Bath in Somerset, UK is a major tourist attraction and were constructed by the Romans when they came to Britain in 43 AD. This is Britain's only natural hot spring,
This hot water spring which brought over one million litres of hot water to the surface every day was found by the Romans as they advanced west into England. They built a reservoir, baths and a temple. Soon a town grew around this complex. These springs were considered sacred by the Romans and an alter was built so that animals could be sacrificed to the Gods.
