city of bath
Grand and
unforget
T
he city is an excellent step
back in time. Here is where
you get one of a whole list
of photo opportunities. The gar-
dens, the views of the river and the
river walks, the sinuous streets, al-
leyways, public squares and the the
little shops all make a visit here an
unbelievable activity for young and
old. As I stood in the centre of town,
people everywhere hold up their
camera and took picture of the build-
ing behind me. It was Bath Abbey-
beautiful church that you will no-
tice the first thing you come to Bath.
This historical Roman city is popular
with ancient spa. Roman Baths is the
most popular spa nestled just beside
Bath Abbey. Hitherto, it was made
as a public bathing that gain water
from natural hot springs. The baths
themselves are about 6 metres below
45
the present city street level. There
were many people queued outside
Roman Baths. I decided to move to-
wards the next popular landmarks—
The Circus and Royal Crescent.
Most buildings in Bath are made
from the local, golden-coloured
Bath Stone from the nineteenth cen-
tury. If you are interested in hand-
some old cities, walking the streets
and viewing the Roman architec-
ture is the treat of a lifetime. As I
walked by, there were shops, restau-
rants and crowd of people gathered
watching street performers at the
side. For those who are Jane Austen
fan, there is a museum dedicated for
her walking towards the Circus. It’s
a permanent exhibition which tells
the story of Austen’s Bath experience
– the effect that visiting and living in
the city had on her and her writing.
