Friday 18th March 2011 –Roman Bath

Built in the 1^st Century around Britain’s only hot spring, this bathing complex is one of Britain’s greatest memorials to the Roman era. See the water's source and walk where Romans walked on the ancient stone pavements around the steaming pool. The extensive ruins and treasures from the spring are beautifully preserved and presented using the best of modern interpretation.
