📍 Bath

Bath was certified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987, and can be said to be one of the most preserved historic cities in the UK. From Roman baths to buildings such as Bath Abbey, they have all witnessed the development of England in various periods, and have attracted many visitors as a result. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk from Bath Spa Station to the city center, and you can see street performances as usual between historic buildings, adding to the area's literary and artistic atmosphere.

📍 Bath Abbey Bath Abbey

巴斯修道院 Bath Abbey — Bath Abbey, Bath, England — Bath Abbey

Bath Abbey was built in the 7th century and is an Anglican church. This church bears witness to the history of the United Kingdom, from when King Edgar, the first king of England, was crowned here, to the traditional king of England. As a Gothic-style building, the most special design of this monastery is the angel staircase on both sides. This inspiration comes from the Bishop of Bath in a dream where he saw angels ascending from heaven, which inspired the design of the monastery.

Seen from the front and side, the abbey has its own characteristics, and the side shows the grandeur of the architecture even more. In addition to leading groups for visitors to learn more about the history here, the monastery also has a gift shop where visitors can buy souvenirs.

📍 Roman Baths

The Roman Baths are Bath's most famous attraction and one of the best-preserved heritage sites in Northern Europe. The Roman Empire occupied England from 43 to 410 AD. Bath was one of the Roman provinces and preserved the spa resort of the ancient Romans. In addition to the Holy Spring, Roman Temple, and Roman Bathhouse, a new museum has also been built for visitors to learn about the history of the bathhouse. It's cheap to book tickets online (you can't book on the same day), so be careful before you visit!

As soon as you walk through the entrance, you can see Bath Abbey in the distance. From the second floor, you can overlook the first floor bathhouse. The second floor is surrounded by 12 statues of Roman emperors. Each has had an influence on the history of England. It can be seen that the Roman Empire had a profound influence on England.

The outdoor bath on the first floor is right in the center. Although the pool water is not as clear as jade, you can feel the slight warmth. Romans used to bathe here. In addition to this only preserved pool, there are also numerous indoor pools, large and small, that have dried up.

巴斯羅馬浴場 Roman Baths 博物館 — Bath, England — Roman Baths Museum

The Roman Baths have also converted part of the building into a museum. In addition to preserving part of the ruins, they also protect the damaged parts of the temple, so that visitors can learn about the history of the bath. From here, you can see the real face of the bathhouse after being destroyed over time, and learn about the culture of the Roman Empire.

The hot springs in the bathhouse are natural thermal energy extracted from 3,000 meters underground and contain various minerals. Therefore, this kind of natural hot spring was loved by Romans who loved to bathe in ancient times.

Finally, after returning to the voice guide, you can go to the memorial store to buy products (you can also enter the store directly from outside the street). Furthermore, the design of the souvenir was not very exquisite, so we walked around and left.

📍 Royal Crescent

巴斯皇家新月樓 Royal Crescen — Bath, England — Royal Crescent Royal Crescent

Just a 15-minute walk from the Roman Baths, you'll see a spacious meadow. The curved structure behind the meadow is the Royal Crescent, one of the largest Georgian buildings in the UK. It was classified as a first-class building in 1950, and the design of these 30 villas had a different intention. Although the houses you see in front of you are all very similar, in reality the two houses are probably in the same space and have different heights. Currently, there are only 10 townhouses left, and the rest have been converted into facilities such as museums, hotels, and spa centers.

📍 Circular Square The Circus

巴斯圓形廣場 The Circus — Bath, England — Round Square The Circus

The circular plaza, which has a similar architectural design to the Royal Crescent, was built in 1768 and is also classified as a first-class building. The design inspiration comes from the Roman Stadium, which preserves various ancient column designs and is decorated with various patterns, including Masonic symbols, nautical signs, etc.

📍 Pulteney Bridge

A 10-minute walk from the round square will take you to the Pultney Bridge, built in 1773. It is also a first-class British building, and there are shops on the south and north side of the entire bridge, which is one of the few preserved designs in the world. It was only through extensive damage and reconstruction that the bridge was restored to its current appearance.

🍴 Roman Bath Kitchen

Finally, we ordered a cup of coffee and marshmallow chocolate at an outdoor restaurant across from the Roman Baths. Facing Bath Abbey and listening to street shows, we ended our day at leisure. Bath is one of the historic cities in the UK. It has preserved many historic buildings and culture, so it is well worth spending a day here.
