Advantages: Plenty to see, good value for money, educational, well organised. Disadvantages: Limited disabled access, can be tiring, often busy.
...German student, Linda, over for the past week and a bit. One of the places she was especially interested in visiting was the Roman Baths museum in, erm, Bath. Her English textbook has a whole unit devoted to it and her teacher had advised her to go, if she had the chance to.
So the four of us – hubby and I, my eldest and Linda – spent last Friday in Bath, braving the rain and discovering the historic delights of Aquae Sulis. We had previously ... ...£22, which we did.
The museum is easy to find, as it is right near the Abbey and well signposted. As we approached, it appeared there was a very long queue and we thought we would have a wait, but it turned out to be a party of students and we were able to walk straight in. There will be many school parties, foreign students and tourists at the attraction. Despite the large number of people, I rarely felt over-crowded though, as everything is well ...

Bath located in the West Country is a World Heritage site and rightly so, it is home to some of Britain's most well preserved historical sites such as the 'Roman Baths', 'Bath Abbey', the 'Royal Crescent', the 'Circus' and 'Pulteney Bridge'.
Being labelled World Heritage Site makes Bath incredibly popular with both visitors from the home nations and from abroad. In the midsummer months you will find Bath absolutely abundant with guided tours and ... ...many attractions and is in the top five of the most visited attractions in the U.K as a whole.
ĴA little history
2000 years ago the Romans during their long stay in our lands found that Bath was home to a natural spring. They had no explanation for why this was so and put it down to the gods and one in particular 'Sulis Minerva'. They built around the spring some lavish bathing facilities and a temple and named this new place 'Aquae Sulis' (aquae ...

Advantages: Central location, Beautiful Architecture, Historically Interesting Disadvantages: Ticket Price
...main priority was to visit the Roman Baths and most importantly, sample some of the famous Aquae Sulis water. So the moment that the sun came out (which unfortunately for us was not very often), we trundled from our hotel down to the museum. Centrally located, and easy to find thanks to Bath's extremely good signage, the buildings incorporating the Roman Baths and Pump Rooms are obvious as you encounter them. The entrance to the museum and Pump Rooms ... ...from the Romans with marble floors and high ceilings. On entrance to the museum you are first expected to part with your hard earned cash. The ticket prices were £11.25 a head (which is the rate charged for an adult in July-August), which I initally felt was very expensive, but once purchased, you are given a complimentary audio guide which allows you to learn as much or as little as you like about the Roman Baths. The audio guides (which are available ...

Advantages: lots to see, street markets, food markets, great value for money. Disadvantages: they need to invest in developing the place, it needs it.
...to oxford, bath & weston-super-mare.
the most intresting one was the trip to bath. we arrived at 09:00 and had the all day to toure the place. the city itself is a small version of an old roman city (it WAS a roman city) in witch the main attraction is the old roman baths (not the only attraction).
the whole city is built on a mountain and so you'll probably have more fun driving there with a 4x4 (i took my toyota land cruiser and felt like a king). ... ...i think it changes by the season. you get a talking device that explains the history of the place as you go inside and lets you stop and look (and hear) about the different intresting points along the way.
we didn't use the device as there is so much to see even without it (we were there for about an hour and a half) and we didn't stop for long.
the only thing i was thinking to myself is : why aren't the managers change and clean the water so that ...
