interesting about the city, are welcome, as are suggested links.
Bath, a city in South-west England, lies in the valley of the River Avon
among surrounding hills, and grew around naturally-occurring hot springs
where the Romans built baths and a temple, giving it the name Aquae
Sulis. The city became a World Heritage Site in 1987, and has a variety
of theatres, museums, and other cultural and sporting venues, which
have helped to make it a major centre for tourism.
I have been a fairly regular visitor since my National Service days at RAF
Pucklechurch. I spent a couple of weeks at the University whilst studying
at the Open University in the 1970s. The city is well worth a visit and has
many interesting buildings, including the Roman Baths and the Pump
Rooms where you may indulge yourself and have tea !
