Bath, UK

I took a late bus to Bath, arriving early in the morning to check in for a few hours of sleep.

The city of Bath is absolutely amazing. There are so many old stone buildings, it looks like something out of a movie.

Inside the Abbey are many plaques for those buried nearby

I spent two days just walking around the city, absorbing the beautiful history. There are some walking paths on the surrounding hills that offer an amazing skyline view of the city.

A truly breathtaking historical vista

Through fields and groves, across brooks; a refreshing nature walk just minutes outside the city center.

Not a 30-minute walk from the city

After finding out that bathing is not allowed (something about a dangerous pathogen, whatever), I was unsure if I wanted to pay the admission fee. I’m glad I did, it was much more interesting than I expected.

The Great Bath, once covered by a high ceiling

There were numerous exhibits of various archaeological artefacts and sites. These baths were built in the first century, and had been used in various ways throughout history.

The temple pediment, visible to all who entered

Once a mask used in religious ceremonies

There was once a floor held on these pillars, and hot smoke was forced through to heat the tiles above
