"Bath liegt etwa 25 Kilometer südöstlich der großen Hafenstadt Bristol, mit der sie durch die Nationalstraße A4 verbunden ist. In gleicher Entfernung befindet sich nördlich die Autobahn M4. Das Stadtgebiet dehnt sich über eine Fläche von 29 km² aus. Der Hauptbahnhof „Bath Spa“ wird von der Great Western Railway angefahren und liegt an der Hauptstrecke zwischen Bristol und London. Auch die Strecke Cardiff-Portsmouth führt durch die Stadt.
Der durch Bath fließende Fluss Avon verbindet die Stadt mit Bristol mit dem Meer. Der Fluss ist schiffbar durch Schleusen und kann mit Narrowboats befahren werden. Es besteht auch ein Wasserweg, der die Stadt mit der Themse und London verbindet, der Kennet-und-Avon-Kanal. Der Kanal war viele Jahre geschlossen, wurde aber gegen Ende des letzten Jahrhunderts restauriert und kann jetzt wieder mit Narrowboats befahren werden, die sich zur Touristenattraktion entwickelt haben. In früheren Jahren war der Kanal ein wichtiger Wasserweg nach London. Der Avon verursachte in früheren Jahren oft Überschwemmungen im Stadtgebiet. Hochwasserschutzmaßnahmen in den 1970er Jahren schafften schließlich Abhilfe.
Bath liegt am südlichen Ende der Cotswolds im Tal des Flusses Avon. Die Cotswolds sind als eine Hügelkette von landschaftlicher Schönheit bekannt. Die Hügel, die die Stadt umgeben, sind an der höchsten Stelle, dem Landsdown Plateau, 238 m hoch. Diese Hügel, die die gesamte Stadt umgeben, sorgen auch für die steilen Straßen und den optischen Eindruck, dass die Häuser praktisch die Anhöhe hinaufklettern."

Finally, after what seems like a year without a break (ok it was about 2 months) me and Elena finally got some "Us time" and decided to hire a car for the first time ever!
I only passed my driving test 6 months ago, and haven't driven since then, so we really should have taken it easy, but we decided to head out of London to the West Country, trying to get deep into Devon and Cornwall.
As we only had 4 days and a hire car, we couldn't push too far, but our first stop was Bath, a beautiful little city in Somerset.
The most famous thing about Bath is the Roman baths, after which the city takes it's name. Legend has it that these were founded by Prince Bladud, son of King Lear, the dude that Shakespeare wrote about. He came back from Greece with leprosy and, after seeing some pigs bathing in hot mud and realising that they had no skin conditions, he decided to bath in the stuff himself and was cured of leprosy. He then went on to set up the city of Bath and had the baths of Aquae Sulis at the centre of it all.
For me as a paraglider, the legend of Bladud has a more interesting side. Apparently a fan of necromancy, Bladud also constructed a pair of wings for himself and tried to fly from London to Greece.
He didn't get that far, as he hit a REAL wall and fell and broke his neck.
So, in tribute to Bladud, whose likeness you can see, just behind Richard Canard's postcard, here's today's REAL wall over the historic Roman baths at Bath.
www.visitbath.co.uk says :
Around Britain's only hot spring, the Romans built a magnificent temple and bathing complex that still flows with natural hot water. See the water's source and walk where Romans walked on the ancient stone pavements around the steaming pool. The extensive ruins and treasures from the spring are beautifully preserved and presented using the best of modern interpretation.

The city may be well known for relaxing spa breaks, but there are plenty of other exciting things to do in Bath too.
Shop until you drop at the city’s vibrant mixture of independent and established high street retailers; get the adrenaline pumping with a driving experience, horse racing or rugby match or learn to bake, cook or sew at a creative workshop.
If the outdoors is your kind of thing, you can always explore the countryside on a leisurely (or more challenging!) walk or cycle route; soak up the city’s historic atmosphere and beautiful architecture with a sightseeing tour; or make friends with the cheeky monkeys on safari at Longleat.
Whether you’re visiting to enjoy some time on your own, with the family for a fun day out or as a couple looking for a romantic escape, there’s such as wide range of different activities to choose from in Bath you’ll wish you could stay for longer!
Sheltering in a passage from the heavy rain, we noticed this attractive place, where we returned later for lunch.

"Bath ist eine Stadt im Westen Englands in der Grafschaft Somerset am Fluss Avon, etwa 20 km von der größeren Stadt Bristol entfernt. Sie ist berühmt für ihre römischen Bäder, welche ab dem Jahr 43 n. Chr. von den damals hier lebenden Römern aus den warmen Quellen entwickelt wurden. Es sind die einzigen heißen Quellen in England und der Überlieferung nach schon in vorrömischer Zeit bekannt gewesen. Seit der Zeit Elisabeth I. entwickelte sich Bath immer mehr zum Kurort der wohlhabenden Bevölkerung. Daraus resultierend befinden sich noch viele Gebäude, insbesondere aus der georgianischen Epoche in der Stadt. Eines der bekanntesten Bauwerke aus dieser Zeit ist der Royal Crescent. Bath ist von der UNESCO als Weltkulturerbe eingestuft. In dem gesamten Regierungsbezirk Bath and North East Somerset lebten 2001 knapp 170.000 Menschen, in der Stadt selbst leben etwa 86.000 Menschen, die sich selber "Bathonians" nennen. Bath ist eine Universitätsstadt." Quelle und weitere Informationen: Wikipedia: Bath

(visitbath.co.uk/things-to-do/pulteney-bridge-p56151)
Pulteney Bridge, together with the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, is one of the world's most beautiful bridges. Like the Ponte Vecchio it is one of a handful of historic bridges in the world with shops built into it.
Built for William Pulteney by Robert Adam, the bridge was an attempt to connect central Bath to land on the other bank of the River Avon and make Pulteney's fortune. In spite of its practical origins it is surely the most romantic bridge in the world, best viewed from Parade Gardens park by the crescent weir.
If you saw the movie "Les Miserables" then you saw this bridge. It's the location for Javert's suicide scene but it's in Bath Somerset not Paris France!!
