Bath

You know how we love day trips to discover England so over the Christmas we quickly popped up to Bath!


When we arrived, we headed straight to the Roman Baths, walking through old streets. We booked tickets online and it wasn't as expensive as I thought. We had to book in a time slot. Since these were online tickets,  we skipped the queue to go in. On our way in, the kids collected headsets which also had a kid friendly version. They also got hands on a trail around the museum. It is a beautiful place and I was amazed at the history. The kids were so engrossed as to what they were listening. Mahish was jumping up and down dying to tell me what I was looking at. I have never seen him so excited about history. Lucky was in her own world, listening away and walking quick as I was too slow. The baths were beautiful and can't believe the history behind it. We also got to drink the water which tasted a bit weird! We saw all the different hot and cold rooms! It had interactive things to do and the trail also ket them quite busy. It is truly a beautiful place with amazing architecture.

We then headed to see the River Avon while standing on the Pulteney Bridge. The Pulteney Bridge is famous because it is 1 of 4 bridges in the world to have shops across its full span on both sides. It was pretty but the kids were thrilled. We then headed to the No.1 Royal Crescent which is museum taking us back in time to the late 1700s. We decided to go to this museum as it offered something different to what we already done s well as having Christmas themed activities. The kids were handed an activity bag which was a good way to explore the house. The museum had a very Christmas feel with each room explaining how they celebrated Christmas back in the day. The volunteers were very good and helped the kids with their activities. At the end, the  kids were able to make Christmas cards and decorations.  It also had a playroom with a dressing up section too. 

At the end of the day, we were all exhausted but we ticked another beautiful city off our list.
