We didn’t have a lot of time to spend in Bath, but I made sure to visit the Roman Baths in this delightful town. The baths are well-preserved and are a kick to wander around. More than one million visitors pop in each year. Most of the baths are located under the streets. The bath pictured below is just a fraction of the Roman Baths during their heyday, roughly 2,000 years ago. In addition to seeing the baths you can visit the Grand Pump Room, where you can eat in the restaurant. Also, you can sample the water from the warm spring. If you would like to plan a trip to the Roman Baths check out this link.
The Grand Pump Room.
Here is my sample of the water. It had a strong smell and a slight metallic taste. It wasn’t the best water I had. And it wasn’t the worst. But I couldn’t leave Bath without trying it.

Thanks!
I’ve been to Bath but I haven’t visited the Roman baths, unfortunately. It is a very beautiful place though, isn’t it? Lovely architecture.
I really enjoyed seeing it. It was fun walking on the sidewalks where Romans walked 2000 years ago. History nerd paradise. It is so lovely.
I must go back and visit the baths some time.
You should. And you’ve probably been there, but I want to go back and have tea at Sally Lunn’s http://www.sallylunns.co.uk/
So beautiful… I am glad you visited there. Once I did too but many years ago… I loved your photographs, the pool standing amazing… Thank you dear TBM, with my love, nia
Thanks Nia! I loved seeing the pool and the reflections on the water.
Next time… we’re so going there!!
You should go! And don’t forget to sample the water. We shared a glass since I didn’t want it all.
I keep meaning to go to Bath! I need to get Charlie to drive me there he’s been there hundreds of times with his tourists: D Beautiful pictures, such an exciting place! 😀
Can you get Charlie to drive all of us 🙂 You would love Bath. Such a quaint town.
yeah I can arrange that 🙂 I am asking him right now when he is taking me there 😀
Yippie!
Nice photos TBM!
peace

Thanks Xandi! I hope all is well.
Wow, nice photos and what a treat to see this!
I’m glad you enjoyed them.
Impressive! Beautiful photos 🙂
Thank you.
It looks like they are very well preserved. Did it make you feel like you had travelled back in time? One day I have to get back to England. I keep realizing how many things I missed seeing while I was there!!
I did picture myself back in Roman times! If you come back here we should have a drink! There is so much to do here…such an amazing country.
I would like that 🙂
Me too!
I hope you had afternoon tea in the pump rooms, one of the best places to have one of the nicest English treats!
Unfortunately we didn’t have time. I’m hoping to go back to Bath and spend more time there. I didn’t even have time to visit the Jane Austen center, but I want to do that after I finish reading her novels.
Loved seeing the Roman Baths. Wouldn’t want to have a bath in them. Too much exposure for me. ( smile )
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
That would be really odd to bathe there. Not sure if I could do it unless in a bathing suit.
Thank you for sharing this time with us.
You’re welcome Mona.
How gorgeous… such wonderful inspiration….
It would be a cool place to write a scary short story…ghosts, Romans, and scalding hot water.
It’s so interesting to see these lovely photos! I was actually reminded of a historical fiction picture book I reviewed two years back that also provided details about the famous Nero baths – you might want to check it out here: http://gatheringbooks.wordpress.com/2010/10/09/roman-diary-by-richard-platt-and-david-parkins/
We will soon be launching our Photo Journal section this March. Very excited for it as well. Thanks for being our inspiration.
Thanks for providing the link to the book. It sounds like a delightful story and I hope my library has a copy! I’m pretty excited about the Photo Journal! Can’t wait to see it…I love seeing photos from all over. This world is amazing, filled with so many beautiful places, people, and animals. Exciting!
still cant get over the fact that they took a bath in the same place, or poop in the same place… :)) this is awesome architecture though, and awesome shots, as always 🙂
LOL…I didn’t consider the latter part. I loved the architecture. The Romans sure knew how to build!
YEAH! i love it… yes, i saw it in a tv series, spartacus i think :p
I haven’t seen the TV series Spartacus. The movie Spartacus is coming up on my movie list soon.
Aaaaaahhh… this looks awesome!!! Great photos!! 🙂 **
It was really fun to wander around there!
Your photos are almost exactly like mine when I visited 5 or 6 years ago. Of course yours are much better! The part I thought was so interesting was if someone had treated you badly, you would write their name on a piece of silver or tin and then toss it into the water and hope the goddess would avenge your mistreatment.
I never got to the Jane Austen sites. That means I’d have to go back I guess. 🙂
I’m sure your photos are beautiful! Do you think that goddess still has her powers? I might have to go back 🙂 I hope you do get to go back. I know I want to see the Austen sites and have more time to see the town. I thought it was a cute place. And I hear their rugby team is quite good. It would be fun to watch them.
Beautiful pictures! Have always wanted to visit. Thank you for taking us along 🙂
Glad you enjoyed them. I’ve been enjoying your trips on your blog. Wow! You’ve been to some beautiful places.
Oh, how interesting. Seems to be awesome place. I have never heard about this place, so thank You presenting it.
It is a really interesting place to visit. Thanks for stopping by!
Never mind the gorgeous shots.. the title alone rocks hard!
Thanks Hook!
