...do that in the Great Bath in the middle of the Roman Baths and Museum, the water is pleasantly green there. Put a few coins in another bath - meaning you want to return back - and have a look at the first floor heating of the world. All done by the Romans. And the plumbers were good in those time: the water still runs in the old-fashioned ways it used to run 2000 years ago. What I liked most around the Baths: you can go around in the museum at your ...
...well organized they built a bath around the spring. That´s it, until today. From the Baths you have a brilliant view (take a photo-stop!) onto Bath Abbey.

It has something to interest everyone from Roman Ruins to excellent shopping malls, together with museums and an abbey. The Roman Baths are a must see. Built around a hot spring which still produces water at 46.5 degrees centigrade, the original Roman building was about 20 feet below the level of the pavement today and has been excavated to reveal a wealth of architecture. ...

There are many rooms to visit showing the various stages of bathing from saunas with underfloor heating to plunge pools.
