Bath and North East Somerset stretches across 136 square miles of green landscapes, from Bristol outskirts to Mendip Hills and Cotswold Hills.

The district was established in 1996 after Avon County dissolution, incorporating the ancient Roman settlement of Bath and surrounding Somerset territories.

The territory contains the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath, multiple educational institutions, and numerous historical structures built with local Cotswold limestone.
