Bath is a small city a couple of hours drive from London best known for the Roman Baths. It’s supposed to be the only hot springs around England when the Romans came. The town has a really unique character, largely due to the stones that the buildings are built with.
The buildings in Bath are made with distinctive honey colored stones called “Bath stones” from quarries surrounding the Somerset area.
I took a day trip there to explore this World Heritage Site. It is a very popular destination – the place was packed even though it was off season and full of visitors thronging the main square.
There is a local specialty called the Bath bun – it’s described as a bun with a lump of sugar baked in the bottom and crushed sugar and raisins on top.
The best place to grab one is at The Bath Bun at the main square.
It’s simple but rather tasty, especially when it’s freshly baked.
I have also read about the Sally Lunn bun, and was determined to eat it before I left. Unfortunately, I had spent way too much time wondering around and nearly missed my bus so I couldn’t sample this other local delight.
I would say that a day trip is too short if you really want to explore Bath, Somerset. There are a lot of inns there where you can spend the night and I highly recommend at least two days to discover the quaint city of Bath.
Haiz!!! Thought I would see pics of you romping around the baths stark naked??? LOL!!!
Heh! The Roman Baths is not available for soaking, unfortunately. It’s another post! 🙂
Nice new look HB. My 2 cents is to make it wider. Too much wasted space at sides. 🙂
Thanks for the feedback Steph! 🙂
Yup, I figured the same thing myself, it’s still work in progress. =D
What wasted space at the sides?
The problem is you have got too big a monitor.
Go get a smaller one if you dont know how to use it.
Show-offs!
larvely.. did u bath in the bath? 😉
( i swear ur website ate up all my previous comments.. sigh sigh sigh LOL )
Heh! Unfortunately, they don’t allow people to do that. However, you CAN have a drink from the Roman Baths. It’s really something, they serve it when you come out. 🙂
Sorry about the comments, I swear this new spam filter is too judicious. T___T

Was doing some changes on the blog.
Your blog feeds just bombed my dashboard T_T
Sorry! :S
Was it the Apache 301 redirect?
What happened? I know my feed link changed so I used httpd to redirect it when I moved from MT to WP.
My apologies. T_T
