Bath

Bath is situated in the rolling countryside of southwest England, known for its natural hot springs and 18th-century Georgian architecture. This historic city is revered for its honey-coloured Bath Stone that was used extensively in its architecture, giving it a distinctive appearance. The main attraction is the incredibly well-preserved Roman Baths, from which the city derives its name. Bath is also renowned for the stunning Bath Abbey, with its fan-vaulting and towering spires, the extensive collection of the Jane Austen Centre, and the picturesque Pulteney Bridge, lined with shops overlooking the River Avon. Steeped in history and culture, Bath offers a vibrant fusion of past and present, which has secured its place as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Solo travel experience

I went there for a solitary trip on my birthday and I really enjoyed it. If you are a fan of "Bridgerton", there are many places associated with this series there! The Holburne Museum (Lady Danbury's house), Abbey Deli (the milliner in the series), Pulteney Bridge, Bath Cathedral, Roman baths. Besides, I spent a lot of time walking because the city is beautiful. I definitely recommend a visit to Mrs Potts Chocolate House. I was there for only 24 hours, but I managed to see and do a lot, I really enjoyed it and I will definitely return there at some point.
