If you want to know the charm of England, go to Bath
Have you heard of Bath?
I didn't know much about it, but I went on a day trip to this city after receiving a recommendation from a local British friend.
As the name suggests, Bath is home to one of the best-preserved Roman baths in the world.
Bath began to attract people's attention around the 18th century, and royalty and the wealthy used to visit Bath for treatment.
The entire city of Bath, England, is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is known to many people not only for its excellent architecture, but also for being the city where British author Jane Austen lived and the setting for her novels.
Since it was a short trip, I had no choice but to visit the main tourist attractions and come back, but my short trip to Bath, England, was enough to capture my heart.
I would like to introduce some recommended tourist attractions among the places I visited.
1. The Royal Crescent
The Royal Crescent, considered the most famous landmark in Bath, is the best Georgian-style building in England from the 18th century. The harmony of the perfectly symmetrical mansions, the lawns and trees in front of them, and the blue sky was so beautiful. Today, it is said to be used as a hotel, office, and residence.
2. Pulteney Bridge
Pulteney Bridge is located on the River Avon, which runs through Bath, England.
The scene where Inspector Javert falls off the bridge in the movie 'Les Miserables' was filmed here.
3. The Roman Baths
The Roman Baths, a must-see attraction when traveling to Bath, England, is a historic site that has been maintained for over 2,000 years. It was built by the Roman army in the 1st century when the Roman Empire ruled England. It is no longer used as a bathhouse, but is used as a popular historic site and museum.
In addition to Great Bath, there were many relics and the history of the Roman Baths, so there was more to see than I thought.
4. Bath Abbey
If you've seen all of Roman Bath, I recommend visiting Bath Abbey right next door.
Bath Abbey has a history of 1,300 years and is famous for being the place where the first king who unified the seven kingdoms of England was crowned. Worship services are still held there today.
There is no separate admission fee, but they accept about 2 pounds as a donation.
It takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes by train from London to Bath, and about 2 hours and 30 minutes by car, so it's a great place to travel near London. Since Bristol is very close to Bath (about 10 minutes), if you're coming from London, it might be a good idea to plan a trip to Bath + Bristol in England.
