Bath is the largest city in the county of Somerset, England, known for and named after its Roman-built baths. In 2011, the population was 88,859. Bath is in the valley of the River Avon, 97 miles (156 km) west of London and 11 miles (18 km) southeast of Bristol. The city became a World Heritage site in 1987.
The city became a spa with the Latin name Aquae Sulis ("the waters of Sul") c. 60 AD 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 from the springs, and Bath became popular as a spa town in the Georgian era.

The bridge in the distance is called Pulteney Bridge...though I didn't get to see it up close there are apparently shops across its full span on both sides!
Scorched Bath... The extreme heat has certainly given the vegetation around Bath a battering... But the heatwave did give us a couple of intense sunsets 🌄. Here is my carousel from Saturday evening overlooking Bath.
Pulteney Bridge

A historic bridge built in 1774 in the town of Bath, England. There are shops on both sides of the bridge, which when you're crossing it, just looks as if it's a street with shops on either side.
I'm a bit disappointed in myself that I only photographed this corner of the bridge. When I crossed the River Avon into the heart of old downtown Bath, I concentrated on Bath Abbey and the Roman Baths building and didn't continue along the other side of the bridge for some shots.
I'd spent about 45 minutes walking to the old city from my B&B following a 2-1/2 hour drive from my previous stay at the farm. It was 2:00pm when I took this photo and I spent the next few hours taking lots more around town, then treated myself to a nice dinner in a Bath pub (including a non alcoholic ale selection) so I filled every available minute.
People always ask me if I'll "go back" after I return from visiting someplace. I never can answer in the affirmative, because who knows? I still have lots of places to visit that I've never seen, and it's going to take me years to be able to afford, both in money and time, so see all of them.
Other "corners" of this bridge would have been excellent to photograph, but this photo is pretty good. I should just be less disappointed in what I didn't do and enjoy the satisfaction that I was able to accomplish what I did and get the (hundreds of) photos I did. Sigh.
The panorama feature on the iPhone is remarkable! Hard to beat it with my R5 and multiple frames stitched in post. Much easier to rotate the phone by hand than my camera on a tripod as well.

The item is water sensitive.
If it gets in contact with SL default water it will turn wet, drip and will also dry in the sun again.

Bath est une ville située dans la campagne vallonnée du sud-ouest de l'Angleterre, réputée pour ses sources chaudes et son architecture géorgienne datant du XVIIIe siècle. La pierre de Bath, caractérisée par sa couleur miel, est mise à l'honneur dans la ville. Elle fut notamment utilisée pour ériger l'abbaye de Bath, célèbre pour sa voûte en éventail, sa tour et ses grands vitraux. Le musée des Thermes de Bath trône sur les bains datant de l'ère romaine, et comprend le Grand Bain, ainsi que plusieurs statues et un temple.
Mummy says we have to be clean when we go to Merica to meet our friends and so we had a big bath with all towels and rubber ducks and things and we got fresher and fluffy and so we will look our best when we get there.

Bath is probably my favourite city in the UK. The Georgian architecture is simply outstanding. In addition there is Bath Abbey, the Roman Baths, the River Avon and the Kennet and Avon canal, plus many parks and gardens as well as great pubs, restaurants, cafe's and bars. The photograph shows the Eastern end of the Pulteney Bridge where it becomes Argyle Street. At this point the bridge is flanked by two fabulous Georgian (?) buildings, both of which are visible here.
Bath è la patria dei busker … qui i suonatori di strada non solo sono bene accetti, ma vengono considerati parte integrante dell'esperienza che un visitatore o un abitante possono sperimentare esplorando la città.
È previsto un codice di comportamento per regolamentare la durata delle esibizioni e l'uso degli spazi pubblici.
Passeggiando in centro, specialmente nell'area attorno all'Abbazia, sicuramente si può assistere a qualche spettacolo.
Nessuna visita a Bath può dirsi completa se non si gusta il tradizionale tè del pomeriggio nell’elegante ambientazione georgiana della Regency Tea Room che si trova nel Jane Austen Centre, il luogo perfetto dove prendere il tè del pomeriggio .
E se si ordina il famoso “Tè con Mr Darcy”, oltre a una teiera piena della dorata bevanda vi verranno serviti piccoli sandwich caldi con crema e marmellata e scones, dolci da forno di origine scozzese.

We had a brief two-day stay at Bath in February 2018 when it seemed most of the rest of the country was covered in snow.
This is the famous Pulteney Bridge which crosses the River Avon. It was completed by 1774 and connected the city with the newly built Georgian town of Bathwick. Designed by Robert Adam in a Palladian style, it is exceptional in having shops built across its full span on both sides. It has been designated as a Grade I listed-building.
The riverside Tuscan colonnade of thirteen bays, which are Grade II-listed, runs from Pulteney Bridge to the entrance to Parade Gardens (out of shot to the left) and supports Grand Parade above. It also marks the level of the medieval Town or Boatstall Quay.

The Garrick’s Head pub was the former home of Beau Nash; unsurprisingly, it’s a grand building with stately proportions.

Information from Wikipedia:-
Pulteney Bridge is a bridge that crosses the River Avon, in Bath, England. It was completed in 1773 and is designated by English Heritage as a grade I listed building.
The bridge was designed by Robert Adam, whose working drawings are preserved in the Sir John Soane's Museum,[1] and is one of only four bridges in the world with shops across the full span on both sides.[2] Shops on the bridge include a flower shop, antique map shop, and juice bar.
The city was first established as a spa resort with the Latin name, Aquae Sulis ("the waters of Sulis") by the Romans in AD 43 although verbal tradition suggests that Bath was known before then. They built baths and a temple on the surrounding hills of Bath in the valley of the River Avon around hot springs, which are the only ones naturally occurring in the United Kingdom. Edgar was crowned king of England at Bath Abbey in 973. Much later, it became popular as a spa resort during the Georgian era, which led to a major expansion that left a heritage of exemplary Georgian architecture crafted from Bath Stone.
The City of Bath was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1987. The city has a variety of theatres, museums, and other cultural and sporting venues, which have helped to make it a major centre for tourism, with over one million staying visitors and 3.8 million day visitors to the city each year.
