Spending A Day In Bath

September 8, 2020 Comments : 3

The drive from Salisbury to Bath, about 40 miles and just over an hour, was a beautiful one. Long country roads, beautiful scenery and lots of pretty cottages to drive past was a lovely way to start the morning. In all honesty, that felt like a nice thing to do in itself. When we drove over the hill to head down into Bath, the views of the city were so spectacular I had to stop to take some photos, and I couldn’t wait to spend a day in Bath exploring.

Bath is the largest city in Somerset, and became a World Heritage Site in 2011. I went just looking for somewhere pretty to walk around for a few hours, but in non COVID times you’re likely to want to see the main attractions: The Crescent, Royal Circus, one of the Bath Spas, Pulteney Bridge being just a few. Spending a day in Bath for me didn’t involve any of these though, as it turned out.

We went for a more slow day, mostly through not wanting to be around a lot of people for obvious reasons. We walked through the streets, past the Baths, Bath Abbey, and lots of beautiful buildings. We saw cute narrow streets full of pretty shops, before heading for Brunch at Good Day Cafe, which was a dog friendly cafe full of gorgeous food and beautiful decor. Worth a visit, and look out for their wall full of Polaroids of all the Good Dogs who have visited!

Once we’d finished Brunch, we went for a walk down by the river. The tall buildings down there reminded me of Amsterdam and Hamburg and I took lots of photos, because anywhere that’s like one of my favourite cities has to be photographed.

I’d parked down by the river so after we’d spent a while down there, we left the city so that we could head off to Glastonbury, but if I’d had more time I would have visited the more touristy parts of Bath that I mentioned at the beginning of this post.

Have you been to Bath? Where should I have seen?

    I love Bath! There’s good reason it’s one of the UK’s most popular tourist destinations and a World Heritage Site. We love the history and architecture, the many historic attractions (love the roman baths), the beautiful spa in the centre of town, and all the great shops and restaurants.

    Looks like a beautiful day! I haven’t been before but I really want to, some of the buildings and architecture I’ve seen online look incredible. Lovely photos!

About Me

Welcome to my little corner of the Internet! I'm Laura, a 33 year old Yorkshire girl aiming to see as much of the world as I can, usually by myself. I'm a big fan of animal print, bright lipstick, gin liqueurs, cocktails, photography, writing and booking flights. I'm in love with a Lhasapoo called Buster and if I don't have my phone, laptop or a camera in my hand, you probably need to ask if I'm feeling okay. I blog about short city breaks, usually solo, on a budget without a hostel in sight. I also cover food reviews, life with Fibromyalgia, and there's a bit of lifestyle content thrown in when the mood takes me. I'm aiming to have visited 40 different countries before I turn 40, so I have 7 years left. Coronavirus has slightly changed my plans for 2020 but so far I'm 17 countries into the challenge and as long as September and October remain safe to travel I'm adding Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Romania, Serbia and a couple of others to the list before this year ends. I love working with brands on sponsored/collaborative content and if you're a travel or food related company, or just someone you think I'll love, please do get in touch.

I absolutely haven't taken Instagram or the blog a I absolutely haven't taken Instagram or the blog all that seriously in 2020 and barely posted on either. That's fine, obviously, but I miss both, so for 2021 I want to be back to daily Instagram posts, finding people to follow that bring me joy, learning the best hashtags to use and trying to make a bit of progress on here. Hoping I'll get a fair bit of travel in in the second half of the year to help with this too. Happy New Year, Instagram!
Walking quickly out of 2020... This year has been Walking quickly out of 2020...

This year has been a bloody weird one hasn't it. Not just with the Pandemic, although obviously that's been a big part of it, but dealing with the hangover from a breakup, trying to make my new house a home, maintaining friendships when I can't see anyone and I'm not good on Zoom, and A LOT of overtime at work. Work has been going really well though and I'm excited to see what 2021 brings me there. I do know that I miss properly using Instagram, and writing on Inside Laura's Head, and I'm currently writing my 2021 goals post as we speak. What are you looking forward to in 2021?
Vienna, after only 24 hours in the city, has becom Vienna, after only 24 hours in the city, has become one of those 'I really need to go back to....' places on my travel list. On Thursday I posted over on the blog about what I did during my day in the city, I wasn't sure whether to post this so close to the horrible events they've had this week but actually, I think sharing how amazing the city is is a very positive thing. Link to the post is, as ever, in my bio, if you want to go and have a read
I've spent today working overtime and listening to I've spent today working overtime and listening to a new audiobook, 'The Year Of Living Danishly' by @mshelenrussell. Ive finished it in a day, loved it and want to go back to Copenhagen now as well as exploring more of Denmark. But for now, I will stay at home, be sensible, and add Denmark to my plan for if things work out for next year. 📷: @fordtography

My last stop in Vienna (maybe, depending on how I My last stop in Vienna (maybe, depending on how I feel in the morning!) was St Stephens Cathedral where I tried Chimney Cake (yum) and Schnitzel (meh) before heading back to my apartment and collapsing onto the sofa. Tomorrow I have an hour ish to the train, 4 hours on the train, a 2 hour flight then an hours drive home, after maybe 30 mins to get to my car. I suspect Monday is going to be a flare and a half 😑
