I have just returned from a 3 night break in Bath, which we found was plenty long enough to get out of it what you wanted. Bath really is a beautiful city and worth a visit to see the beautiful Georgian buildings, which are absolutely beautiful when the sun shines on them. No trip to Bath would be complete without a visit to the Roman baths. They are expensive to get into, but well worth the cost. You are completely free to wander around at your own pace and spend as much time there as you would like. The Bath abbey is also worth a visit. A £2 entry donation is appreciated but by no means complusory. Again you are free to stay as long as you'd ...  Read the complete review

Bath is a city I had only passed through, but recently decided to spend more time there. I was not disappointed in this historic city. There are so many attractions to see and it is full of history. Wandering by the river and through the parks offer pleasant spaces to relax if you need a break from walking in the main streets. Of course, when we were there, the place was packed with tourists, it being a sunny weekend, but even so the place was far from being overcrowded. We were able to wander around at our leisure, taking photos and stopping to look at the historic buildings. It might have also helped in that we followed teh guidebook walking tour in ...  Read the complete review

Ooh-ar, Ooh-ar. "I’ve got a brand new combine harvester and I’ll give you the key....." In the world of Tourism there are a few essential ingredients needed if you are to be classed as an A grade attraction for international visitors. Here are some general rules. 1) Firstly, you need some old buildings, crumbling ones if possible, and preferably with some sort of religious significance. If your old buildings have a shady past (i.e. they have been centres for human sacrifice or some sort of religious genocide) then all the better as there is no better crowd pleaser than a bit of blood and gore. If you haven’t got blood ...  Read the complete review

I know what a lot of people think of Bath, a lovely city with brilliant architecture, every corner tells a story, or you could think that Bath is full of rich old people who look down their noses at everyone. Personally I’m inclined to agree with both, but I am willing to put all my grudges behind me and explain to you how I see Bath from the past, present and future. I was brought up in Bath by my grandparents but left to live in the country, and here I am 10 years later once again living in the city with the “golden” spring. I must say my impression of Bath now is very different from what it was four years ago when I first moved back. So here ...  Read the complete review

Bath is the best town I've ever visited in England. The inhabitants are very nice, even when they see French people :-) That is almost a proverb to say that British people can't stand French people, and vice versa. But actually this is true only for one place, where people were truly unkind, that is the Isle of Wight. In Bath, that is the contrary. When you are alone, with your plan, even if you do'nt really need help, there is always someone who will come to help you. Bath is a very eautiful town, the center is quite small but there are many things to see: - the roman baths, of course, which are very interesting, because you see how ...  Read the complete review
