A Quick Bath

In November, we wrote about acla:works architectural technician, Andron Roberts, and his higher education trip to Sligo, Ireland. Earlier this month, Andron went to Sligo again and, on the way back home, he stopped for a couple days in Bath, England. Below, he shares his impression of Bath, along with a few photos.

“It’s a very old city with Georgian architecture and a nice urban buzz. I visited the ancient Roman Baths – which is, of course, how the city got its name – and the Abbey, a famous Anglican church. Bath has sweeping landscapes, the streets are mostly cobblestone and very intimate, at least in the old part of the city. They tend to stick to the Georgian style. Even in newer buildings they use coloured stones and try to mimic façades of the existing buildings."

Andron also made a daytrip to Stonehenge – the famed prehistoric monument. His verdict [and we quote]: “It's smaller than you would think.”
