Town amongst the hills and trees.

Everyone had said to me how beautiful Bath is and somehow I didn't really take them seriously. The two hours we spent there was nowhere near enough time to enjoy this place properly.
The first I saw of it really fascinated me. The town itself is spread out over rolling hills with rows of houses in amongst the trees. It makes for a unique sight.

Bath in the Springtime.

Houses in the hills

Being there in Spring was a bonus as the gardens were lovely. A canal and park near the town centre was an enjoyable place to walk and rest.

Pros and Cons

Pros:A pleasantly set out town with lots to do.
Cons:Packed with tourists in spring and summer months.
In a nutshell:Colourful, clean and full of life.
