Photobook #6 - Bristol, Bath & Leeds | England

Right after we came back from our trip to Berlin, we stayed London for a day and then bid goodbye to my parents as they were going back to Malaysia at that time. After sending off my parents at London Victoria, we then took bus to Bristol. In Bristol, my friend Azri Marican was there so we stayed at his place. Then, the day after we went to Bath bu taking train. B

Bath is a very nice place with a lot of history to be learnt of. Some interesting places include The Roman Baths, the Pulteney Bridge and Bath Market. Definitely a nice place to visit although we didn't manage to catch bus to Stonehenge due to unavailability of the bus. It was fully booked by the time we asked from the tour counter. Maybe next time.. Hehe..

The stunning Roman Baths as the front cover.

Splashh splashhh.. Care to dive in?

Back in Bristol, Azri brought us to tour around Bristol City. We passed by his university, which is University of Bristol, @Bristol, Central Library and so on and then we walked further to Clifton Suspension Bridge. It was very windy at the bridge site as the weather was already cold. Brrrr...

What a nice bridge..

Leeds is actually not included in this trip but I went day there on different trip. I went to Leeds with my parents before our journey to Rome started. She really wanna visit Leeds as it used to be my uncle's study place a long time ago.

Summer Trip Day 7 - Bristol & Bath

We boarded the train to Bath at 9.00 am from Bristol Temple Mead which was just a 15-minute walk from Azri's place. The journey was quite short, it only took 15 minutes to reach Bath. The Bath Spa train station is located just beside the river.



Once we got off the train, we went to Bath Abbey and The Roman Baths by walking through a few blocks of shopping area (Southgate). The entrance fee to the Roman Baths is £10 but if you want to visit Fashion Museum as well, the saver rate is £13 for both places. There is an information centre near the Bath Abbey just in case you need to get information about the places around here.


The Roman Baths is basically a building with a lot of ponds and statues. There is a museum inside it and also a souvenir shop. We bought some souvenirs such as fridge magnet, Roman coin keyrings, Roman Military figure and postcards.


After finishing our tour at The Roman Baths, we walked to Fashion Museum which is quite far from our location. We took about 20 minutes to find the museum which is located inside the Assembly Hall. I found that the Fashion Museum was quite boring, it focused more on female fashion. There is a lot of human figure with beautiful attires inside this museum. You could try the corset here as well. Wanji said that it was quite heavy and challenging to wear. Aside from that, a collection of shoes, head garments and handbags were also exhibited here.


We had our lunch at Subway with tuna mayonnaise sandwich. After the quick bite we headed to our next stop which was Victoria Park. The park itself is very huge and there a few row of ripe apple trees here. Many red apples were lying on the grass. We stopped for a while for toilet break then resumed our walking to the end of the park. There is a long semi circle shaped house near this area. It was nice and stunning. Like usual, there are few monuments here.


Then, we took a long walk to River Avon to see the historical Pulteney Bridge. The river is nice with the stair-like oval shape flow and there were a lot of birds, ducks and swans here. The bridge is located near to the Bath Market so before we returned to Bristol, we had a quick tour inside the market. The market was surprisingly clean and tidy, not like market in Malaysia. I bought a drink to relieve my thirst. Wanji bought a shawl here too.



We took the next train to Bristol at about 4 pm and reached Azri's house before he came back from class. He brought us out for sightseeing around Bristol City Centre.

The Bristol tour story will be written in the next post.

Cheers!
