Travel: Bath and Windsor Castle

One of the tours I took while in London was the "Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor Castle Tour." I really enjoyed all three, but on this post, I'm featuring only Bath and the Windsor Castle, as I think the Stonehenge deserves a post of its own. Next time though, I'd like to spend a day or two in Bath. The place is gorgeous and peaceful. I also visited The Jane Austen Center there where I did went crazy for the stationeries.

The Roman Baths

Some strange looking sculptures adorning the streets of Bath. (Find more info on this artwork here.)

The Abbey

Part of the Crescent

Changing of the guards at the Windsor Castle

Entering Windsor Castle

The Windsor Castle - the castle is impressive and beautiful inside. Unfortunately, no photography was allowed.

I hope everyone enjoys the photos.
Happy weekend!

    I enjoyed your post Kayni! I remember Samantha Brown's travel to Bath with this post. Bath. Roman bath. Very nice.

    I just love looking at travel photos, feeling ko nandun na rin ako somehow.
    Those are really weird scultures. Were you able to find out what those were about?

    Rico, I found out the artwork was by Sophie Ryder and they're called Lady Hares.

    Mordsith, I, too, am amazed at how the English have preserved their old cities. It's a sight worth seeing.
