Following our Cotswolds walk we stayed in Bath for four days. Bath was quite a contrast to the previous week walking through the hilly rural and agricultural countryside. Bath is, and long has been, a place that many visit — for the actual baths, for the architecture, and for the city’s history. With four days there we had plenty of time to look around, and we spent a good long time wandering the Abbey.
The front of the Abbey faces the same small square that provides access to the famous Roman Baths. Consequently this is a pretty busy part of town. A bit to our surprise, however, it was not very crowded at all in the church. In addition to taking in the impressive space with its columns and high, vaulted ceiling, we walked slowly and read many of the memorial inscriptions on the Abbey walls.
