    Bath

    June 5, 2023 in England ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    Today we drove back into England, with the town of Bath, in the county of Somerset, our first stop. Bath is a UNESCO world heritage site on the River Avon.
    It is famous for its Roman Baths, built by the Romans, of course, with artefacts found on the site dating it back to at least 76AD.

    The Royal Crescent in Bath is also a famous photo stop. It is a row of Georgian townhouses and was used extensively in the TV series 'Bridgerton'.

    The Pulteney Bridge on the River Avon is also another well recognised construction from Roman times.

    After Bath we had a stop in Wells. We were here a few weeks ago on our 'Backroads Corners of Cornwall' tour, so didn't need to visit the cathedral again. Instead, we walked the town and had an ice cream. But we did get a good photo of the cathedral, as last time we were here the village green in front of it was being used for the kings coronation party, so it was full of people.

    Our destination for the next two nights is Plymouth, in Devon.
