We had perfect weather for our day to Stonehenge and Bath. The drive out through the English countryside was beautiful. All the little towns are so quaint. For this trip to Europe, I wanted to go one place I’d never been before and I’d never been to Bath, so this tour through Premium Tours was great for us. I’ll keep the commentary here to a minimum and let the photos speak for themselves.

We drove on to Bath and I was surprised by how hilly the land got. Bath is not at all flat like London. It’s nestled in the hills and is entirely done in Georgian architecture – it’s like something out of a storybook.

The cathedral and the Roman Baths occupy much of a large, central square that was packed with people. 

We went on a short walking tour with our guide and discovered many charming buildings and side streets.

I’ll borrow from Wikipedia for a description of The Circus:

The Circus, originally called King’s Circus, was designed by the architect John Wood, the Elder, although he never lived to see his plans put into effect as he died less than three months after the first stone was laid. Wood, convinced that Bath had been the principal centre of Druid activity in Britain, surveyed Stonehenge and used the same dimensions (318 feet) for The Circus’ diameter.

We didn’t go into the Roman Baths but instead went into the The Assembly Rooms, which had been fashionable meeting rooms in the city. The main ballroom was stunning.

While we were there, we visited The Fashion Museum, which showcases clothing from the 18th century to present day. There was so much history and information in all the different garments, accessories and shoes. It was incredible. The detail on the garments – WOW! The photos don’t do it justice, but this was a very neat thing to see.

And then we just wandered, taking it all in. So, so pristine, romantic and lovely.
