For those that do not know, the city of Bath was so named because of the Roman baths that remain in the middle of the city. After the Romans conquered the land of England, they took advantage of the natural springs there and built their baths. These baths were used to soothe wounds of soldiers, aches of a long day's work, and it was said to remove ailments. The Romans were able to use their aquadust technology to keep fresh water flowing. Today, you can still see these baths. For a small fee, you can gain admission to the site and see the actual baths the Romans used 2000 years ago. You can see the steam rooms, and you can even see the aquaducts. There are also many statues and architecture from Roman times. When I was there in 2005, no one was able to enter the baths. However, a restoration effort was being made, and individuals will be able to enter the baths soon if that's not the case already.

It was a really beautiful city to wander around, surprisingly lively, stunningly picturesque in the warm evening light and oddly maritime with the squawk of seagulls overhead. Out the front of the Roman Baths were large and peculiar statues ("Minotaur and Lady-Hare… The Roman Baths |

We found parking in a car park and walked towards the city centre to find the Roman Baths. We came upon the great Abbey first. We stared up in awe of the majestic structure and stood admiring for a few minutes before we continued our trek towards the Roman Bath entrance. We're both fans of all things "old" and historic… day nine - Roman Baths and a "witching hour" Tor climb |

There are lots of Roman style buildings. I was wondering if they were built in that way after the Roman Baths were found in underground or not. They were in a museum. It was a very organized museum and I felt kind… Leaving for Bath and London |

So my parents and I walked to the city centre (aka, the Roman Baths), and my dad wanted a cup of coffee. It wasn't raining, infact I loved the weather but for my parents, it was quite windy and chill. Right across the Roman Baths are tons of tea rooms so we head into one - I had cream… Sightseeing Bath |
