On our third day in England we did a little road trip from Birmingham to the South of England. Our first stop was in the picturesque town of Bath and we started by taking photos of the classic Avon river (you will see in many peoples photos) from the Pulteney Bridge.
Next up we decided to go to the original Roman Baths in town! The Roman Baths themselves are below the modern street level and there are four main features: the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple, the Roman Bath House and the museum, holding finds from Roman Bath (I got his info from Wikipedia). We explored this awesome historic site, but unfortunately you can't get into the water anymore... well, the water looked to dodgy to try out anyway.
From here we simply explored Bath by foot and just made sure we went to the famous Royal Crescent. The Royal Crescent is a row of 30 terraced houses laid out in a sweeping crescent in the city. We enjoyed the awesome architecture through the city and had some snacks in a park before continuing on our road trip.
Another interesting thing in Bath is the pigs. King Bladud's Pigs in Bath was a 2008 public art event to celebrate Bath, its origins and its artists - and provide residents and visitors with artistic enjoyment. Over one hundred decorated pig sculptures were on display throughout the summer around Bath and beyond (see http://www.kingbladudspigs.org/). You can see quite a few of these pigs in my photos!
Tell me what you think and stay tuned for more?!
