Perched high on one of the seven hills that surround Bath, we awoke to an amazing panorama of a city that has stood since 1482. Bath, a spa town, was popularised by Queen Ann as a place of healing. We plan to visit the baths during our stay here. Evidenced by the extensive restoration projects we witnessed today, the city's heart is being revitalised. The Bath Sightseeing Bus tour & commentary gave us an excellent introduction to this ancient city.
