Pulteney Bridge: Shop-Lined Bridge

  • The Pulteney Bridge is a stone bridge, that crosses the Avon River.

    It is lined with shops on both sides, reminiscent of the Ponte Vecchio in Florence.

    My favourite shop was a small cafe where you can sit at the window looking directly out over the river.

    Royal Crescent: The fanciest address in Town

  • The Royal Crescent is a sweeping crescent of spectacular georgian townhouses, that were built back in 1767-1774.

    The townhouses overlook a large private lawn, which appeared to be filled with tourists ignoring the private property sign, when I was there.

    I had seen so many photos of the Royal Crescent, that I felt a bit disappointed when I saw it. Perhaps it was just the grey weather.

  • The Circus is a magnificent circle of 30 Georgian townhouses, with a small park in the centre.

    Quiet an impressive street, and the kind of place I would love to live!

    If only the sun would come out!

  • Bath is full of amazing architecture. It is hard to stop taking photos of every new building you see.

    The Bath Abbey is one of those photo-inspiring structures, as was the Bath Spa building and numerous others.

    We merely gazed at the outside of these buildings this visit, we plan to return for a closer look one day soon.

     I must admit I've heard only about The Royal Crescent, but the milkshake place could be another good reason to visit ;)

     These are some nice tips and pages about a place I hope to see in a few months. It looks like one of Britain's many treasures.
