Bath is a place I just can't keep away from. The beautiful location, stunning architecture and incredible history aside, the place is also one of the most photogenic towns I've seen. The soft Bath Stone, from which pretty much every building is constructed, almost has a glow of its own - and when lit up by the sun is nothing short of enchanting.
The last few times I've been to Bath it's been all about the Romans and what they've done for us. However, visiting with my folks (NOT pictured above - apparently I'm far better at taking shots of randoms), with their inexhaustible appetite for, and ability to sniff out, quirky historical tidbits, I found myself getting wrapped up in the more recent history. Dominated by a couple of very colourful characters, it was something of a competitive entrepreneurial renaissance, involving of course plenty of social intrigue, which led to Bath becoming the jewel of the region it is.
