The Roman Baths, Bath Abbey and Church Area |
| The Roman baths—designed
for public bathing—were used until the end of Roman rule in Britain
in the 5th century AD. This sight is one of the best-preserved Roman remains
in the world, where 1,170,000 litres of steaming spring water, reaching
46°C, still fills the bathing site every single day. |

Bath Abbey and Church Area |
| The
site of Bath Abbey has been a place of Christian worship since 757 AD,
with three different churches occupying the site during this time. An
Anglo-Saxon monastery was first constructed, which was where King Edgar,
the first king of all England, was crowned in 973 AD. |

Lynda wanted to spend time viewing the Bath Abbey. I had had enough old
historical buildings so she went in on her own. I am therefore unsure
of the details of the photos she took, but afterwards she could not stop
talking about how impressed she was with the history of the Gothic style
(12th to 16th centaury) architecture. The following Photos were taken
in the Abbey |

Ross-on-wye |
| Ross-on-Wye
is a market town and civil parish in Herefordshire, England, near the
border with Wales. It had a population estimated at 10,978 in 2021. The
reason for our visit to Ross-on-Wye was for Lynda to meet up with her
friend, Sally Dazely's mom. Lynda got on very well with Mrs Farmeron her
stayin Summertrand PE. It was fairly close so Lynda desided we could pay her a visit while in UK. |
