“If you are interested in handsome
old cities, walking the streets and
viewing Roman architecture is the
treat of a lifetime.”
I didn’t exactly know what to expect of the Circus. I thought it’s a big statue but it is actually a three
long, curved terraces. The buildings form a circular space with big trees in the middle. The cir-
cus was a site intended for civic functions and games. Danial stood and wooed in the middle.
The noise spread out loud across the circus which was pretty cool. Clever architecture indeed.
We moved forward to the Royal Crescent which was the most spectacular of Bath’s terraces. It’s a well pre-
served example of terraced housing. It is among the greatest examples of Georgian architecture to be found
in the United Kingdom. Just opposite the Crescent is the Royal Victoria Park. This park is so much more than
it seems, with winding roads, flower beds, sculptures and wild life which makes it a lovely park to visit to.
We made our way through Parade Garden where it was foot away behind Bath Abbey. It
is where River Avon is situated at and you may see the Pulteney Weir just at the end of it.
There are a few ways to see the Weir, one of which involves catching a boat to the apex of the horseshoe,
another is along the embankment having navigated your way down the steps from Pulteney Bridge, and
the other overlooking the Weir from the street above. All are different and wonderful in their own way.
I only had a few hours in Bath but I know there were still far more interesting plac-
es to go to. However the few hours was well spent and Bath is definitely a city to visit.
