This is the lovely B&B we stayed in (not too far from where Jane Austen spent many years actually):
We were about a five minute walk from the center of town and got a nice view of the Pulteney Bridge on our walk in each day. It happens to only be 1 of 4 in the world left that actually has shops within the bridge (1 other is the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, but not sure what the other two are?!). We couldn't ever miss the beautiful architecture of Bath Abbey either!
Heading further into town, we found the oldest house in Bath left standing (which is the home of the famous Sally Lunn Bun--which of course we sampled, and its coffee house), along with Lord Nelson's house, and the Jane Austen historic center.
One of our favorite parts of the trip was of course going into the Roman Baths on Saturday...
where we did cure all that was ailing us with that fine-tasting fresh water straight from the pumps and felt like a king and queen by the time we were done! ;)
And on Sunday, before we took off for Stonehenge, we found a great, hidden (to us, anyway) cafe where of course Mr. Sweet Tooth ordered hot chocolate and chocolate cake for breakfast!
Then it was off for the hour drive to Stonehenge to walk around in a circle for an hour and then drive back immediately after. Definitely worth seeing; just wish we could've gotten a bit closer, I guess.
A very relaxing, much needed weekend-getaway! We would definitely go back again with any visitors--hint, hint.
