Stonehenge And Bath

I have seen this few stones on TV on some programs and wondered to myself what is so special about his place where they have a few stones on the ground. Since we are in England, we decided to check it out.

I am really surprised and at the same time glad to know the history of Stonehenge. It’s not about the few stones… but an archaeological marvel, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and one of the world’s most enigmatic tourist attractions. The site itself—a circle of gigantic stones standing in the heart of the English countryside; is made even more impressive by its mysterious history. The Stone Circle is a masterpiece of engineering, and building it would have taken huge effort from hundreds of well-organised people using only simple tools and technologies. 

I thoroughly enjoyed being on the ground with a history of 4,500 years old stones or rocks. The wonders of these stones have different views when you walked around it and it was pretty interesting indeed. I am really happy that I am able to step foot on this ground today and you will never know when this amazing structure will be destroyed.

We continued our journey to Bath. Bath is the largest city in the county of Somerset, England, known for its Roman-built baths.  In 2011, the population was 88,859. Bath is in the valley of the River Avon,  97 miles (156 km) west of London and 11 miles (18 km) south-east of Bristol. The city became a World Heritage site in 1987.

When in Bath, you just got to walk on the beautiful street on Bath Street. It is filled with shops, lovely old buildings, as well as the super old buildings. The people are so nice there and we found good coffee shops too. We strolled around the street and stepped foot on the Royal Crescent. The Royal Crescent is comprised of thirty houses, shaped like a half-Colosseum, which uses a gigantic series of Ionic columns on high bases… SO BEAUTIFUL!

Felt so fruitful and happy to visit both World Heritage Sites in a day. I wished we could spend more time in Bath as there are so much to see and do there. I want to return to Bath if I ever visit UK again.

As for dinner, we are delighted that Chef Mike prepared chicken rice for us and it was delicious! A wonderful adventure is always best to sum up with a delicious and sumptuous dinner at the comfort of our home. 😊
