What a great way to spend our wedding anniversary today, visiting the historic city of Bath.
It was also really nice to catch the local bus into Bath which only took 35 minutes from Melksham. Along the journey we even managed to see 4 Cattle Egrets and a couple of Red Kite, just brilliant.
After arriving in Bath, we had some brekkie and the headed for the famous Roman Baths.
The Baths were created as part of a temple between 60 and 70 AD and were in use up until the Romans left Britain in the 5th century AD, and a small settlement here was known as Aquae Sulis.
I was so impressed with the amount there is to see here, as quite a good proportion of the ruins are under cover, a great place to visit if you are interested in Britain's ancient history.
After looking at the Roman Baths, we visited Bath Abbey and then looked around the other city sights, such as the Royal Crescent, Circus and Pulteney Bridge.
The latter is the iconic view of the city as it spans the River Avon.
Well what a lovely city to visit, with all its interesting history and I've never seen a city with so many places to eat.
The following are my favourite photos from our day.
