@imperidox_: The secret beneath this Bath beauty spot ⤵️👀 Hedgemead Park is steeped in history and born from disaster! 💥 In the late 1800s, this area was densely packed with homes until a series of landslides in 1881 changed everything. Camden Crescent, perched high above the park, was designed in the 1780s, but unstable ground halted its completion. By 1883, after more homes were destroyed, the city of Bath decided to transform the land into a public park 🌳 Opening in 1889, Hedgemead Park became a peaceful escape from the bustling city, with its terraced pathways, mature trees, and impressive stone walls—all designed to stabilize the land. The park even features an elaborate Victorian drinking fountain 🦁 and a neo-Norman bastion wall, adding to its historic charm. It’s a serene reminder of Bath’s resilience and creativity in the face of nature’s challenges. #history #historyfacts #historynerd #historybuff #historychannel #historygeek #historylovers #historymuseum #historyteacher #tourguide #tourguides #bath #historymatters #historyinthemaking #historytok
