Bath (Somerset)

~ Bath ~ The City of Bath has been my main home for all my life. Even though I live just outside of Bath it has always been the closest big city where I have spent a lot of time. I used to go to college there and work but now I do not visit the City so much and only go in for meals and rugby matches. Never the less it is still a fantastic place to visit. The Georgian City is beautifully structured has is set amongst the countryside. It has many places to visit and much to learn about the history of the town. Bath is one of the world's greatest cities and is a huge tourist attraction to everyone around the globe. Even though I cannot understand why so ...  Read the complete review

Until I was eleven, I only ever holidayed in this country and I learnt to love several weekends away in a year rather than a long holiday once a year and nothing else the rest of the time- so I have visited many locations in England.

We did see a lot of buses however, so I'm assuming that using public transport would be almost as easy, though it would be unnecessary if you were just staying around the city centre.

Bath is a fantastic city with lots to do. I went there for my anniversary in September and would definitely return. We arrived by train and the train station is about a 5-10 minute walk from the main shopping street. Bath has been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and when you get there you will understand why. The buildings are fabulous and the jewel in the crown is the Thermal Spa located in the centre of the city. We wandered in and out of quirky shops and bars. To be honest we were so relaxed we didn't pass much heed on the names of pubs, but there are loads and they are all central. My advice is to do the same and stumble upon ...  Read the complete review
