Bath is a nice and luxurious town built with concrete. All the buildings were concrete and stuck together. The sidewalks were about 2 feet by 2 feet squares or cobblestone. There was a ton of shops and places to eat. One of the places we visited dates back to 1482, called Sally Lunn's famous buns. They are huge hamburger buns basically.
Then we went to the Roman Bath House, which is Bath's main attraction. This is where a natural hot spring rises to the surface. The Romans built a "house" (for lack of a better term) around this hot spring in honor of the goddess Minerva. It too is hundreds of years old. The water is so warm that you could see the steam rising. It was a green color and apparently very dirty/unpurified. The guide told us not to touch the water. It was a beautiful place!
