The City of Bath

The city of bath was very beautiful, I spent a lot of time walking around and exploring. I found the river that runs through the city and followed it a while taking photos every so often. I also had the opportunity to discover the Roman baths that are located in the city. It was very interesting to find out about the history of the romans and the historical importance of the roman baths. It was interesting to see that there was so much belief in the water and its healing or magical properties. I did find my self more interested in the mechanics of how it all worked. The romans were known for very advanced water distribution, allowing them to move water to many places. The fact that they had multiple bath houses all running off the same water reservoir was incredible to think about. I was also fascinated by how they created rooms that closely resemble saunas. They did so by ducting the heat from a fire through hollowed floors and out a vent on the far side of the room. With the rising heat through the floor it warmed up the entire room to feel like a sauna. I know there was a fashion museum at bath but I did not go through it. I did however go through the Jane Austen Museum and only a few doors down from it was the museum for The author of Frankenstein’s Monster. The Frankenstein’s Monster museum also included an escape room but I ended not going into that museum. Bath was a very beautiful city that has a lot of history behind it. There was many very old building and places just like London, however you did not have the feeling of things packed in and close as they possibly could. Another thing that I enjoyed was the views of the countryside, something you don’t get in London with the towering sky scrapers everywhere and was a good change of scenery for a day. The train ride was actual a little disappointing, I thought I was going see a lot of the country side but was faced with a view that was blocked by trees or large embankments with only short glances into the country side every so often. Bath is defiantly a place I recommend spending time at, there are many things to see and do, there are also many shops and stores. Please enjoy some of the photos that I took while at Bath.
