Another masterpiece of 18th-century architecture, the Circus is a few steps east of the Royal Crescent and predates its neighbour.
This circular development, now Grade I listed, was drawn up by John Wood, the Elder and completed in 1768. A curious fact about the Circus is that Wood designed it to have almost the same diameter as Stonehenge as he believed that Bath had been a centre of druid activity in the Neolithic Period and Bronze Age.
