Bath es una ciudad maravillosa en el suroeste de Inglaterra, famosa por su historia romana, su arquitectura georgiana y sus relajantes termas.
Las Termas Romanas de Bath: Son uno de los principales atractivos de la ciudad. Estas antiguas termas romanas, construidas hace casi 2000 años, ofrecen una experiencia única para imaginar cómo vivían los romanos y disfrutar de las aguas termales naturales. No te pierdas el museo y las piscinas modernas que las complementan. www.romanbaths.co.uk.
La Abadía de Bath: La impresionante catedral gótica, conocida como la Abadía de San Pedro y San Pablo, es un símbolo de la ciudad. Su arquitectura, vitrales y el ambiente tranquilo la hacen un lugar perfecto para visitar y admirar.
El centro histórico: Pasear por las calles de Bath es como retroceder en el tiempo. Sus edificios de estilo georgiano, con fachadas de color miel, tiendas elegantes, cafeterías acogedoras y restaurantes, crean un ambiente encantador y sofisticado.
El Royal Crescent y The Circus: Estos son ejemplos emblemáticos de la arquitectura georgiana. El Royal Crescent, una fila de casas en forma de media luna, ofrece vistas impresionantes y un ambiente elegante. Muy cerca, el Circus es un conjunto circular de casas que también vale la pena visitar.
El Museo de Jane Austen: La famosa escritora vivió en Bath y su historia está muy presente en el lugar. El museo ofrece una visión fascinante de su vida y obra, además de eventos y actividades relacionadas con ella.
Parques y jardines: Los parques de Bath, como el Parade Gardens, ofrecen espacios verdes para relajarse y disfrutar de vistas panorámicas de la ciudad y el río Avon.
Puente Pulteney: Es el puente más conocido de Bath, y es el que atraviesa el mítico río Avon. Como curiosidad, es uno de los pocos puentes habitados que quedan en el mundo. Fue diseñado por Robert Adam, basado en el precioso Puente Vecchio (Florencia) y Puente de Rialto (Venecia). El puente Pulteney terminó de construirse en 1773, ubicando varias tiendas en ambos márgenes. Uno de los lugares más famosos que encontraremos allí es el The Bridge Coffe Shop, donde podrás desayunar con una de las mejores vistas de Bath.
Consejos prácticos: - La mejor época para visitar es en primavera y otoñoo, cuando el clima es más agradable. La ciudad es compacta y perfecta para recorrer a pie, así que prepárate para pasear y disfrutar de cada rincón. No olvides reservar con anticipación las entradas a las Termas Romanas, especialmente en temporada alta. Bath combina historia, arquitectura impresionante y un ambiente relajado.
D0280 FALCON departs from Bath Spa for the west, in 1967. The original slide (now sold on) has the trees/bushes extending above the parapet and blocking parts of the loco - the wonderful software that is Photoshop has allowed some digital pruning to uncover the train.

Autumn and winter is when most female grey seals haul themselves ashore to give birth.
It seems like a strange time to do it, when icy winds are blowing and the nights are long. One explanation is that after a summer of catching fish, the females are simply in great shape to feed their young.
When pups are born the mothers spin round to sniff them and get to know their smell. The pups are covered in fluffy white fur, not good camouflage on sand or pebbles you might think, but that's because it's a relic from the ice age when they would have been born on snow!
Female grey seals are dedicated parents, spending several weeks feeding their pups and losing up-to 65kg in the process. The pups drink two and a half litres of milk every day and it's so rich pups can grow by as much as 30kg in two weeks.
After a month or so, females leave their pups and head back out to sea where they feed and mate again. The pups can spend up to two weeks all alone on the beach while they build up the courage (and the right fur) to take the plunge into the sea and learn to fish for themselves.
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!
Pulteney Weir - added as a flow control for the river. Bath, Somerset.
wiki link - Bath, Somerset
Pulteney Weir is a historic structure located on the River Avon in the city of Bath, in the county of Somerset, England. The weir was built in the 17th century to power the city's mills, and it has since become an important part of Bath's cultural and architectural heritage.
The weir is located just downstream from Pulteney Bridge, and it is designed to divert water from the river into a channel that feeds the city's mills. The weir is constructed of stone and features several arches that allow water to flow through and around it.
One of the most distinctive features of Pulteney Weir is its fish ladder, which was added in the early 21st century to allow salmon and other migratory fish to swim upstream and spawn. The fish ladder is a unique and innovative solution to a long-standing problem in the River Avon, and it has helped to restore the local ecosystem and promote sustainable fishing practices.
Visitors to Bath can view the weir and its fish ladder from the riverbank or from Pulteney Bridge, which offers stunning views of both structures. The weir is also a popular spot for fishing, with several fishing platforms located along its length.
Overall, Pulteney Weir is an important part of Bath's cultural and historical heritage, providing a fascinating glimpse into the city's industrial past and its ongoing efforts to promote sustainable environmental practices.
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.

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.
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 una città nell'area unitaria di Bath e del Somerset nordorientale nella contea cerimoniale del Somerset , Inghilterra , e prende il nome dai suoi bagni di costruzione romana .

The Circus.
Built between 1754 and 1768 but Father and son John Wood and John Wood the younger.
This road, along with Queen Square and Gay Street from the air form a key shape, a masonic symbol.
The buildings themselves have many symbols related to the masonic lodge, as well as druid culture. Wood was an admirer of the druids, and was convinced Bath was a druid settlement in the past. He believed the Circus was joined to the Royal Crescent by a ley-line; their design represents the sun and the moon.
It is also believed that if you stand at a spot in the centre of the circus what you say will echo around the buildings

The Cross Bath building.
You can hire this during the day to have your own personal spa bath.
Where the Cross Bath now stands, the Celts revered their goddess Sul, in whose honour the Romans named their spa town, Aquae Sulis. The Cross Spring is now recognised as an official sacred site. As you relax in the oval Cross Bath, you can watch the natural thermal waters cascade from the spring and a specially commissioned poolside fountain.
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.
bathed in sunlight.
Built by John Palmer between 1789 and 1793.
The crescent, which is a grade I listed building, is made up of 20 four-floor houses, each with floors below ground.
It is a concave crescent and is flanked by Lansdown Place West and Lansdown Place East, both convex crescents and grade II listed buildings in their own right.
Pulteney Bridge
Bath, England, U.K.

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.

This beauty sometimes shows up at Janice's just before dawn just long enough to prepare for the day with a quick session in the bird bath...I finally managed to get there early enough to see him!

The Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Bath, commonly known as Bath Abbey, is an Anglican parish church and a former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, reorganized in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries, it is one of the largest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the West Country.
