Bath Somerset is a city in the ceremonial county of Somerset, England, known for its Roman-built baths. Bath is in the valley of the River Avon, 97 miles west of London and 11 miles south-east of Bristol. The city became a World Heritage Site in 1987.
The city became a spa with the Latin name Aquæ Sulis waters AD 60 when the Romans built baths and a temple in the valley of the River Avon, although hot springs were known even before then. Bath Abbey was founded in the 7th century and became a religious centre; the building was rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries. In the 17th century, claims were made for the curative properties of water.

Typical Georgian period houses in Bath.
I was, at the time, staying at the pub you can see at the end of the road - getting a chance to visit the town, famous from the Austen novels which I grew up with, when my husband was there at a conference.

The centre of the city of Bath has been transformed by impressive colourful illuminations over Christmas holiday. The project is supported by the Bath Business Improvement District (Bath BID) and designed and produced by Fineline Lighting and Visit Bath aiming to support local economy and honoured efforts of NHS in these challenging times. Taken from Widcombe Hill, Bath, England, UK.
The Victorian spa town of Matlock Bath, or the Derbyshire Riviera. To the left you can just make out the Round House (its really hexagonal) and to the extreme right the cable cars are visible that take visitors to the Heights of Abraham. The shot is taken from the road to Starkholmes overlooking the River Derwent.
We had an unfortunate experience earlier this week, travelling to Bath and staying in a hotel without taking a single picture. The moment we'd had dinner and retired for the night a team of roadworkers with their specialist vehicles arrived outside our bedroom window and proceeded to dig up the entire road outside the hotel and then re-lay it, finishing some time towards 5am. We didn't get a moment's sleep as the noise was horrendous. Apparently they were doing the rest of the road the following two nights. We promptly negotiated the bill and headed home. So here's an unused shot of the famous Pulteney Bridge in Bath from a previous visit.
The world-famous bridge was completed by 1774 and connected the city with the newly built Georgian town of Bathwick. Designed by Robert Adam in a Palladian style, the bridge is exceptional in having shops built across its full span on both sides. It has been designated as a Grade I listed-building.
Like so much of the Georgian architecture in Bath, the facade is beautifully designed but the rear of the building is a bit of a mess, with individual property owners left to complete their part of the building however they chose. It is colloquially known as "Queen Anne fronts and Mary-Anne backs".

Since 757 AD, three different churches have occupied the site of today’s Abbey: first, there was an Anglo-Saxon Abbey Church, pulled down by the Norman conquerors of England soon after 1066. Then, a massive Norman cathedral was begun about 1090 but was larger than the monastery could afford to maintain and by the end of the 15th century was in ruins. Finally, the present Abbey church was founded in 1499, the last of the great medieval churches of England
An early evening shot caught the light just right in Bath on Saturday. A beautiful city, and I hadn't been for years!

La vista és força espectacular, però deu ni do, la pujadeta...

The city of Bath seen from Alexandra Park. The viewpoint is quite nice, but the path that leads to it is quite steep.
