We saw the place where a British civil war took place in the mid-1600s. The Royalist Troops (loyal to the King) attached the Parliamentarian Troops (those who wanted to form a Parliament). Two close friends, Waller and Horton, ended up fighting each other on opposite sides of war.
We caught our first glimpse of Bath when we were ab out 3 miles from the end.
The Cotswold Way ends in front of the Bath Abby.
We toured the Jane Austen Centre. Jane Austen finished two of here novels here in Bath: Northanger Abby and Persuasion.
We wish that we had more time to spent in Bath. There is so much to see and do. We'll just have to return for a future vacation and do more here.
We're spending our final night in the Belmont B&B. We leave early tomorrow morning for the airport to fly back to Washington, D.C. We'll spend four days with Amy & Tyler and their children and Todd & Kara and their children before the next adventure begins!
This has been perhaps the best vacation we've had! Walking for 105 miles was a great way to see this part of England. Anyone interested in making this trip should contact us for more details.
