A Monday morning tour around the best preserved Roman Bath's in the world. These were uncovered in the late 1800's but are no longer in use (filled with algae). The Roman's were quite the builders. A main 'sacred' spring, flowing in to multiple different pools and eventually drained out to the River Avon. All through a complex series of channels and pools. Also, some beautiful temples were built around the sight, with remnants of sculpted stones uncovered also. I could imagine the Baths to be the main social area of town, bustling with all status of people.
A nice view here is of the Bath Abbey reflected in the Great Pool bath.
