Bath is a popular destination in the United Kingdom. Everyone raves about Bath. "Bath is beautiful. I love Bath", said our gushing B&B Host at Torquay before we left. And yes Bath is beautiful, a city of limestone buildings built around the Avon River. And for good reason it was made a World Heritage Site in 1987.
We are staying at Saco Apartments right in the heart of Bath on St James Parade. A one bedroom apartment makes it our most spacious accomodation yet. We are spoilt with our own kitchen, and washing machine, which means no more trekking down to the Laundromat
After checking in we explored Bath, and the best way to explore a new place is on a Hop On - Hop Off bus. Around the town we, marvelling at each new discovery, thinking how good it would be to live here.
Over the Avon River (pictured above), listening to the audio commentary, and marvelling at the gorgeous stone buildings. Every place has a story.
If you notice the buildings in front they have been walled up. In the old days there was a bizarre tax on windows, so residents walled them up to avoid paying. Everyone likes to beat the tax man.
This is Bath Abbey (pictured above)
This is the famous Circus (pictured above).Of course Bath is famous for the Roman Baths. It's probably the most popular tourist attraction. As you know the Romans loved their baths, and this was a perfect location, fed by permanent hot springs.
First the Romans, now everyone comes to Bath, and you should too. You'll love it.
