Even though I have actually spent very
little time in Bath, it feels like I
know it well – all these years of reading Georgette Heyer's Regencies I guess!
Bath
is in Somerset, which according to my brother in law is where my father's
family originally came from.
It
is about 100 miles west of London. There
are Roman Baths in Bath – and that is how the town got its name.
Bath
has been a World Heritage Site since 1987.
In
2012 a hoard of 30 thousand sliver Roman coins was found – shame that finders
keepers didn't apply!
The
Royal Crescent and the Circus are famous streets in Bath – so elegant.
The
Royal Victoria Park was opened in 1830 by an 11 year old Princess Victoria –
the first of many things to be named in Queen Victoria's honour.
