The Roman Baths is one of the finest historic sites in Northern Europe, and one of the most popular tourist attractions in the UK. It is run by the Heritage Services section of Bath & North East Somerset Council. The Roman Baths, at the heart of the City of Bath World Heritage Site, consists of the remarkably preserved remains of one of the greatest religious spas of the ancient world. The city’s unique thermal springs rise in the site and the Baths still flow with natural hot water. The Roman Baths attracts over one million visitors a year – making it one of the most visited heritage attractions in the United Kingdom.

In ancient times people travelled to the Roman Baths to enjoy the healing properties of the water. Now 2000 years later, thanks to new research from the University of Plymouth, it seems like they were onto something. Scientists and students from the University's School of Biomedical Sciences and School of Biological and Marine Sciences have found a diverse range of microorganisms in the hot springs of the Roman Baths that could be used to develop antibiotics of the future. Dr Lee Hutt, Lecturer in Biomedical Sciences, and senior author on the study, explains - “Antimicrobial resistance is recognised as one of the most significant threats to global health, and the hunt for novel antimicrobial natural products is gathering pace. There is no small irony in the fact the waters of the Roman Baths have long been regarded for their medicinal properties and now, thanks to advances in modern science, we might be on the verge of discovering the Romans and others since were right.” We're hugely excited to discover more about the secrets of the water, and can't wait to see what further research reveals.
