#bathtrip There are trips you plan, and then there are trips that transform. My recent #BathTrip fell into the second category — an immersive experience wrapped in history, beauty, and a sense of peace I hadn’t felt in years. Nestled in the heart of Somerset, the city of Bath welcomed me with its honey-colored Georgian architecture, ancient Roman baths, and a gentle rhythm that makes you slow down and truly savor life. What mattered most to me on this trip was the connection between the old and the new. Walking through the Roman Baths — still bubbling with natural hot spring water — I could almost hear echoes of the past. I spent hours exploring this UNESCO World Heritage Site, mesmerized by the ingenuity of ancient engineering. Don’t miss the museum section; it paints a vivid picture of Roman life and beliefs. The Thermae Bath Spa was another highlight. Floating in the rooftop pool with 360° views of the city at sunset is something I’ll never forget. The mineral-rich waters left me feeling physically rejuvenated and mentally recharged. If you’re into literature and architecture, the Jane Austen Centre and the Royal Crescent are must-visits. I strolled along the Royal Crescent just before dusk, golden light bathing the sweeping arc of buildings — it was like stepping into a painting. Best time to visit? Late spring (May to early June) or early autumn (September) is ideal. The weather is pleasant, the gardens are in bloom, and the summer crowds haven’t peaked. Bonus Tips: Nearest train station: Bath Spa, a 1.5-hour ride from London. Don’t skip Sally Lunn’s Historic Eating House — the buns are worth the hype. Walk along the Kennet and Avon Canal for a peaceful escape from the tourist buzz. #BathTrip #TravelUK #SpaCity #RomanBaths #ThermaeSpa #JaneAusten #EnglandTravel #UNESCOHeritage #WanderlustUK #ArchitectureLovers #SlowTravel #HiddenGemsUK

The Hill Garden and Pergola in Hampstead Heath is a must-see for those interested in London’s parks and nature areas. The Pergola is covered in trellises of climbing roses and the garden is filled with lots of fragrant flowers in the summer. Entrance is free although it is some distance away from the tube station (about 20 min) #travel #scenic #janeausten #naturalwonders #thingstodo
