The legend of Bath says that it was founded by the Celtic Prince, Bladud, nearly 3000 years ago. Having contracted leprosy, he was banished and wandered the countryside with his pigs, who also had the skin condition. When the pigs found a natural spring, they began rolling around in the mud & water, and to Bladud’s amazement, this seemed to cure their leprosy.
