Maybe a dumb question, but are any of the baths still functional and in use? That fashion history museum is really cool! What an excellent trip!

Thanks for these pictures, and reminding me what an amazing place Bath is. As I recall there was a wonderful place to get pasties there too. I have also gone back again and again to the earlier pictures of the Terra Cotta Warriors (I would like to see the real thing, but have to settle for the exhibit in Washington DC at the end of the month right now.) I would also like to revisit so many places in England, Bath being one of them. Kathryn Bath is one of my favorite places and I have not been there in years.

It's a beautiful place. It's also got the record for being the most expensive place I've ever parked a car - we parked our hired car in a public car park and toddled off for a day of sightseeing and when it came time to pay we were up for 30 pounds - and this was in the mid 90's when the exchange rate between pounds and the Aussie dollar was worse than now so that cost us more than $100!

I was lucky enough to spend 5 years living in Bristol and visited Bath numerous times. Then years later my son was at university there for three years so I know it very well.

I've added info to the post about it. Still, it is very old, dating back to 1611. Margot, sorry I should have made it clear that the present building does not date back to 973!

The Abbey looks so amazing. It's hard to believe such an intricate building could be that old. I can't imagine how they had the skills back then to build it, but somehow they did. Thanks so much for sharing one of your favorite places. I so enjoyed this trip you gave me through Bath. The Abbey looks so amazing. It’s hard to believe such an intricate building could be that old.
