BATH
I spent a year of my life living in Bath, commuting to the Somerset countryside each morning and spending my afternoons and evenings walking around running around the city. The stories of Bath captivated me; it was the site of the Roman’s favourite British city due to its hot springs, the first king of all of England was crowned here, and it has been home to some pivotal characters from the British past over the years, with a particular architectural heyday in the 1800s. There’s so much history in Bath – and once you’re done, there’s the spas, pubs and restaurants to enjoy as well.
