Bath & Stonehenge - April 2009

Like my last post, this is not exactly an exotic travel destination, but both Bath and Stonhenge are high on the list of tourist destinations in England and I got some smashing photos so it is worth sharing.

I went to Bath first and visited the Roman Baths and the Abbey - both are lovely and well worth a visit. You get an audio guide at the Baths in a range of languages to help give you information about the history of the place. My only advide would be to get there early so as to avoid the queues of Japanese and American tourists!

Stonehenge is not far away from Bath and is one of the most iconic sights in the country. As with many such sights, it is all about whether the reality matches up to your preconceived ideas. This is a very commercial tourist spot these days, which can spoil it for some. You will undoubtledly run into lots of tourists from all over the world here. However, if you can put that aside, the stones themselves are an impressive sight.
