Today we drove from Lyme Regis to Bath, a journey that can be done in much less time than we took, no doubt, but it was a very pleasant meander through the Mendip area of Somerset. Once we located our B&B, we set off to walk to the centre of things and found the Roman Baths, one of the star attractions of this very old city. The tour takes a full two hours and is absolutely worth it. There is a free audio guide to explain more than you ever wanted to know about the place (supplemented with commentary by Bill Bryson which is mainly a waste of time). I was most impressed with the drains. The abbey was closed for some inconvenient church business, so we took the bus tour around the key points for almost an hour. Did I mention that it was raining all day? Didn't really affect our enjoyment of this exquisite city. We finished up at the fish and chip restaurant recommended by the bus driver, then grabbed a cab back to our Victorian digs.
