Finally I am here, in the city so desirable to visit by many - magnificent and glorious Bath! I’d like to dedicate this post to a lovely security guy of a short stay car park in Bath for letting us get away with a £25 parking fine! Whoever you are – God bless you!
What a great city to spend a casual Tuesday in! I’ve been dreaming to visit this place for a long time and when I was there in reality, it seemed like a dream!
The city was first established as a spa with the Latin name, Aquae Sulis (“the waters of Sulis”) by the Romans sometime in the AD 60s about 20 years after they had arrived in Britain (AD43), although verbal tradition suggests that Bath was known before then. They built baths and a temple on the surrounding hills of Bath in the valley of the River Avon around hot springs. Edgar was crowned king of England at Bath Abbey in 973. Much later, it became popular as a spa town during the Georgian era, which led to a major expansion that left a heritage of exemplary Georgian architecture crafted from Bath Stone (Wikipedia).
Bath has so much to offer to everyone, in 1987 it was included into the Worlds Heritage Site. Being a lover of the old architecture I enjoyed the stroll through the lovely streets of Bath inhaling every single moment of the experience. Nothing let me down and the place has absolutely exceeded my expectations.























Awesome photos! It brings back so many memories of when I went earlier this year. I remember walking around that park (8th pic down) and walking around the massive circle of houses and seeing some incredibly well dressed man just standing around doing nothing, I don’t know what the point of him was, unless he was just being.
Did you go in the Pump Room and the Roman Baths at all?
Excellent photo of the river with the little step/waterfall thing, On the post I wrote about it I got a photo of it from the other side, the water seemed less brown and more blue when I went though!
Hey Pete thanks!
I loved Bath so much, I’d love to go back some time, it’s just quite far away from London
Yeah, the Circus looks very impressive, it’s difficult to take a picture, a helicopter would help to get the whole view in
Yes, we did go to the Pump Room and Roman Baths, there is no point in going to the city if you are not going to visit those places
I loved Roman Baths; I have a separate post for it
Ooh, I shall check it out! You know how they have the signs that says “don’t touch the water”… well I touched it :-X
I live in North Derbyshire so it’s even further away haha, but it’s still nice for a weekend get away. Open top bus rides FTW.
Wow what a fantastic place to visit…I can see why you have wanted to go there! I know I’ve said it before, but you and C go to great places. There is so much history on that side of the world where you guys live. I can’t wait to see and read about your vacation!!!
Thanks David, It’s a wonderful place to visit!
I am so happy I had a chance to see it, it’s so beautiful. England has so many amazing places and slowly slowly I am ticking them off
Labai gražus mietukas. Net nepaisant nenormaliai didžiulės traukinio bilieto kainos, kad ten nusigauti. Nesigailėjau nei vieno išleisto cento. Be to, kai aš ten buvau, oras pasitaikė neblogas, tai pasidžiaugiau mažom gatvelėm ir parkiukais.
Tikrai ten labai grazu
Mums pasiseke, kad nelijo
Ir man patiko tos visos mazos gatveles, sutvarkyti parkai, kavinukes, nu viskas paliko ispudi
O del traukinio kainos tai nezinau, bet isivaizduoju, kad nepigu, apskritai keliauti po Anglija labai brangu, bet tikrai verta
The photo of the scones and Abbey-Green store make me want to visit so much! Lovely atmosphere in this post – I haven’t seen so many photos of this beautiful spot. Thanks!
Thanks Marina, I enjoyed every moment in Bath, it’s an amazing place and really worth a visit
On my trip I kept forgetting that I am still in the UK
It’s a beautiful country
Ok, that berry jam stuff, and muffin just look insane… What is that? And can you me some if I send you some money, Lol
