Bath – Guildhall Market

We visited Bath’s Guildhall Market. The market building contains an 18th Century pillar where trades were agreed.

Bath - Thermal Spa

Opportunities to sink into a thermal bath do not come along often. At least not in our world. When we booked our trip to Bath, we both knew that a trip to the thermal spa was a must.

Bath

Bath is an historically wealthy city in the United Kingdom. The thermal springs below ensured the city’s notability and prosperity over time. That in turn has led an assortment of grandiose architecture and adorned vistas.

Bath – Little Details

We visited Bath a few days before Christmas and saw the town during the shortest days of the year.

Museum of Science and Industry

Manchester’s Museum of Science and Industry is situated within easy walking distance of the city centre and worth visiting. It is a large site and difficult to see all in one visit; thus I wonder if I happened upon a particularly poor route through the few exhibits I did see.
