Me and my friend the Roman centurion ^^
You are never too old to play dress up at the Jane Austen Museum ^^
The Royal Crescent, where Bath’s most affluent residence live ^^
Hello friends! Yesterday I took a bus out to Bath with a few friends to explore the ancient Roman Baths. A natural hot spring bubbles up from the ground in this town, and the Romans took advantage- they built an extensive spa complex dedicated to the goddess Aquea Sulis. The baths were world renown for their supposed healing powers. I had so much fun walking around, and even got to taste the water. After, we saw the ‘Circus’ and the ‘Royal Crescent,’ two circles made of beautiful town homes, were the wealthiest residence live. We also went to the Jane Austen Museum, as she lived in Bath for a period of time and mentions it in all her books. I have read ‘Northanger Abbey,’ which is entirely set in Bath, so it was great to really understand the context of the story. I could definitely see myself living in Bath- it has the quaint England charm without the busy pace of the big city. Thanks for the great day Bath, I’ll be back!
It looks like a wonderful little day trip – and I love that you went to the Jane Austen museum! That is definitely on my “bucket list” having read some of her classics.
It was great! The museum was not to big so as to be overwhelming, but big enough so you get your money’s worth 🙂
First time visiting your blog, stopping over via Travel Tuesday.
it looks nice, how was the water??

Hey, thanks so much for stopping by! Unfortunately you can’t go in the baths, but you can taste the water, which was hot and actually a bit funny tasting haha 🙂
Would love to visit the Roman Baths! I didn’t know that there are actual Roman soldiers though! So cool 😉
Yeah, this soldier was so funny! He told me to put my hand up in the picture to show I bear no arms haha
I love the Roman Baths in Bath! When I was in Bath for the day I spent so long at the actual Baths, I didn’t get to see much of the city
Arn’t they great?! The rest of the city is cool- really quaint but also a slower pace than London, which is nice
I’m gonna sound like a massive dummy right now, but is there an actual spa at the roman baths? Or is it only something to go look at? I heard Bath was incredible and look forward to visiting it one day! Love your photos! That crescent is very impressive!
No, I had the same question haha! You can’t actually go in the baths, just take a tour and look at them 🙂
I would love to visit Bath! Looks like such a lovely, smaller city!
It was! You get all the quaint charm of England without the business of London 🙂
I can’t believe I still haven’t been to Bath… your pics are great.
Thanks so much! You should definitely put it on your bucket list. It has all the quaint charm of England but not as busy as London 🙂
