The well-preserved Roman baths in Bath, England date back to around 65 AD and were used by the early Roman invaders for public bathing.
While water still flows through the original lead pipes constructed by the Romans, the water is considered toxic. A death was reported when a girl swallowed some of the water and died shortly thereafter in 1979, resulting in the closing of the baths for public swimming and bathing.
This popular tourist site includes the Sacred Spring, the Roman bath house, the Roman Temple, and archeological finds from bath in the museum.
