Bath

From Cheltenham to Bath today on route to Warminster so a realitively easy drive today. A visit to the Roman Bath House  filled in several hours. What an amazing place to think that the original baths were  built by the romans 44AD above the natural hot springs of the city. We then enjoyed a stroll around the central city and along the Avon river ( viewing Pulteney bridge which is lined with shops like Ponte Vecchio in Florence) and up to view the Georgian houses on Royal Cresent and around the circus (a ring of 33 houses divided into 3 semi circular terraces) .
On our way to our new accomidation at  Warminster, we had a short stop and stroll along the Sumerset coal canal (1805_1893)  recently reopened at the junction of the Kennet and Avon canal at the Dundas Aqueduct.
