Bath Vacation Guide

Bath is located in the heart of Western England in Somerset, about 160kms from London. It sits in the valley of the River Avon and was known during Roman times for its thermal baths, cold water baths, and steam rooms. Peoples of the day would enter the thermal baths to ease aching muscles or mend wounds. After the end of Roman occupation, the baths were lost to disarray. However, many efforts in the city of Bath have been made to re-open the baths to the public once again.

Today, you can pay quite a bit to check out what's left of these baths. But the audio tour around the Roman Baths is well worth the pounds. You can see, not only the baths themselves, but you can also see sculptures from the time, including designs on the building itself. Also viewable are the Roman aqueducts. From there, take a walk around the almost gold coloured city. Be sure to take the time to check out the cathedral and the many colourful shops located within the city.

Don't forget to experience 5 o'clock English tea drinking at the Tea Room (located just by the Roman baths museum).

Bath is also well known for it's Georgian architecture. The Royal Crescent and The Circus both being some of the finest examples in the country.
