Bath (England)

~ Bath ~ The City of Bath has been my main home for all my life. Even though I live just outside of Bath it has always been the closest big city where I have spent a lot of time.

When we took our amazing journey on The Orient Express, a tour of Bath was part of the deal and what a lovely city it is. 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. The principal feature is the Great Bath which is now open to the elements but which was roofed in ... more

I recently went on a short boating holiday in Bradford-on-avon which is about 10 miles from bath by car.The trip i went was a long boat holiday that involves alot of hiking and cycling and if your into fishing, a bit of that too.On two of the days i went to bath to visit some of the historical landmarks such as the roman baths and the cathedral. The cathedral is thousands of years old but is still in tip top condition and the craftsmanship and detail that has gone in to every inch of the place is just breathtaking.Th baths are special too as they are i think the only roman baths still open to ... more
