 One of Bath's spectacular garden parks |
| 19 July 2000- "Bath in the Cotswalds radiates like an 18th century dream of sunlight and flowers. The town is a spectacle: doves and pigeons soaring over church spires and Georgian shops all made of the same proud, tan-brown limestone. The sky is a dark blue tapering to a baby azure at the horizon." |

 The springs, still at 116 degrees |
| "In ancient times, the city was known for the hot springs bubbling at 116 degrees just below the surface. After Queen Mary came to fight infertility in 1687, Bath boomed as a center of culture and society. 90% of the buildings date from the 18th century." |
 The springs with ancient Roman statues and columns still in place |
 The 500 year old Bath Abbey |
| "A church has stood on the site of the present day Abbey, itself the 500 year old, last of medieval English churches, since Anglo-Saxon times. Edgar was crowned here as the first King of England in 937 A.D., and Bath became the religious center of the nation." |
