There is a hot spring feeding the Roman Baths. These baths are no longer functional and are now simply tourist attractions. It is interesting to see here that the Roman conquerors have managed to blend in with the local culture and called this after the pagan God of hot springs in these parts, Aquae Sulis.  The whole town in built from Bath stone, which only exists in quarries around this part of the world, giving the buildings their distinctive look.

If you have the time, do visit a few other places around Bath, which are also worth seeing. Wookey Hole is a cave with some spectacular stalagmites, looking pretty serene under the dim lights along the passages. Worthy of mention is also Street, another small nearby town in Somerset which has factory outlets for Clarks shoes. You can pick up your favourite designer goods for half the usual high street prices here.
