sadly you can no longer swim in the baths, who really wants to see a whole bunch of tourists wallowing around in there |
Bath first established as a spa resort with the Latin name, Aquae Sulis, meaning "the waters of Sulis" by the Romans in AD 43 |
They built baths and a temple on the surrounding hills of Bath in the valley of the river Avon around hot springs, which are the only ones naturally occurring in the United Kingdom. |
obligatory tourist shot! |
Roman Life Guards?! |
if you fancy a dip, you can go to the new baths, Aquae Sulis, which has a fantastic huge thermal pool on its roof |
