About St Albans
The city of St Albans is located just to the north of London in the county of Hertfordshire. The medieval town grew on the hill around the Benedictine foundation of St Albans Abbey. In its time it was the principal abbey in England and the first draft of the Magna Carta was drawn up there. The Abbey Church, now St Albans Cathedral, became the parish church in 1553 only around 15 ears after the dissolution of the priory in 1539. The town was granted city status in 1877 when the church was declared a cathedral.
The growth of the city was slow before the 20th century which largely reflected the fact that it was a rural market town, a Christian pilgrimage site and the first coaching stop on the route to and from London. The latter is the reason why there are a large number of inns and public houses dating from Tudor times (1485 - 1603). Today the city is a popular visitor destination as the city shows evidence of building and excavation from all periods of its history. Notable buildings include the Abbey and the 15th century clock tower, which is one of only two similar towers in England. The city is also the site of the Eleanor Cross which was destroyed in 1703.
About Bath
The city of Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is located in south west England, a short distance from the city of Bristol which is 15 miles away. The city is famed for its Roman baths, medieval heritage and fine Georgian architecture.
The city is the only place in the United Kingdom where it is possible to bathe in natural hot springs. Unfortunately it is not possible to bathe in the Roman Bathes but visitors can be pampered at the Thermae bath Spa which is located close to the Roman baths. The spa uses the naturally occurring hot water which are filtered and remain in the warm indoor and outdoor roof top swimming pool.
There are many guided tours of the city which range from walking tours taking in the breathtaking architecture of the city to ghost tours to pub crawls. Most hotels, bars and restaurants have leaflets for many of the tours.
The city is also an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding area. Nearby attractions include Stone Henge, Longleat Safari Park and Adventure Park or the picturesque villages of the Cotswolds.
