Just 1 hour and 20 minutes from London by train is a beautiful historic English City nestled in the midst of the somerset region you might know this place for its famed Roman built bath that the city is named after but there is so much more to explore here from

Grand Georgian architecture to an incredible modern food scene and of course excellent independent craft and vintage shops hi friends welcome to Bath England Ryan and I are spending the next two nights here we’re going to be exploring all the historical sites eating all the food of course and just kind of having a

Bit of a cozy winter weekend getaway from London we actually arrived a couple of hours ago we caught an earliest train from Penington station and I think it was only about uh about an hour and 20 minutes so really easy if you just wanted to even do an overnight trip or a

Day trip and the reason I wanted to arrive and bath early is a very G reason and that’s because I wanted to try a bakery that is going to be close the rest of the time we’re here and the bakery is called landras Bakery and when

I tell you they have one of the best cinnamon buns I’ve ever had I’m not kidding I’m not exaggerating it is on par with the cinnamon bun that I had in Copenhagen from Juno the bakery and that is my favorite cinnamon bun of all time so that’s really saying something so if

You do one thing in bath make sure you go to landre Bakery and just try all of their treats they also have really good coffee too now that we have that very important matter off the list let’s get out there and explore the rest of Bar guys nobody told me just how good bath vintage shopping is we spent this dreary afternoon pottering around the stores continuing Ryan’s never-ending search for the perfect secondhand leather jacket we then wandered through the indoor Guild Hall market and then spent way too long in this magazine

Store that sells curated art design and food magazines and for dinner we headed to Bath Cider House where they stock local ciders from around the somerset region and even Brew some of their own on site this blueberry one was a showstopper but to be honest the gigantic square pizza that arrived a few

Minutes later completely stole the show I mean talk about Extravagant good morning friends it is day two in bath we are up nice and early to go and actually see the said baths that the city of B was named after but first a very important Mission as always Cofe Coffee is secured and also it is so quiet out here there’s like no doubt so if you want to come for a nice like weird little quiet wonderand around bath uh 9:00 a.m. on a Sunday is definitely the time to do it I will be honest I’m always a little

Bit skeptical about these historical activities in the UK mainly because they are quite expensive so you always want to be sure that you are getting your money’s worth but I have to say the Roman bath they really surprised me you get to see the famous baths which are

Quite magnificent and in the summer I believe they actually do a Twilight entrance which would just be so magical but what I didn’t realize is that there is also a whole underground Museum as part of the complex and as a bonus you actually get a really good audio guide

For free if you visit on a Sunday morning you get to hear the bells from the Abby chiming away and although I didn’t know it at the time we would actually get to see these bells up close the next day tickets for the Roman baths can be booked online and you get

Discounts for offseason and weekday time so that is good to keep in mind all of that history worked up an appetite so we made our way to a cafe that I had spotted yesterday and let’s just say this loaded French toast and a maple syrup latte it definitely hit the Spot we’ve just come back from a nice blustery walk around bath this morning after breakfast we had a little wand around and then went to one of the like most recommended book stores here at is called topping and topping and Company book sellers and they actually they also

Have a shop in Eden BR which is good to know but such a good bookstore so much to explore I think they had like three or four different levels so lots of choice whether you’re into like graphic novels or food or literature or fiction or non-fiction so much Choice there so

We spent a goodly while exploring I found a book in their travel writers section which is on firsthand accounts from female explorers and one of my goals this year is to read a lot more like travel and food literature and make sure I’m trying to get more information

Outside of the internet too so excited to Kickstart it with that book we’re just going to have a little bit of a chill read our books and then we’re off to do a very British Sunday cold weather activity which is a Sunday roast in a

Pub but I don’t think this is in a pub this is in a restaurant Apparently one of B’s like best restaurants so I’m very excited for that let’s fast forward to the food on our way to lunch we took a detour around the circus and the Royal

Cent these are are two beautiful areas known for their Georgian style tow houses that were constructed in the 1700s these days they retail for a cool 500,000 for an apartment for just two bedrooms which actually as a Londoner maybe seems like kind of a good deal to

Me anyway at this point I was in an unprovoked battle with the wind which ended up winning out so onwards to lunch this is B for canteen a cozy local favorite sets in a former Georgian Greenhouse of all things they specialize in modern British dining with a focus on sourcing ingredients from the

Surrounding region I mean just look at the spread Ryan said it might be one of the best roasts ever had and I would say that is a fair assessment and how is this for a closing act an apple stuffed Yorkshire pudding with cinnamon ice cream just Perfection this is our last morning ha and bath and the sun has made an appearance with a little bit of blue sky so let’s see if that decides to hang around our plans for today number one of course we’re going to go find some breakfast number two stroll around a

Couple of areas of bath that we haven’t been to yet just on the other side and lastly we’re going to go have a look at the Abby or the cathedral and I think we might be able to climb up to the top of that so crossing fingers that is an

Option let’s go and do it and it’s literally just started raining this is the most English weather ever yeah one way to certainly make up for the rain was heading straight to Green Street butchers they are a little takeaway spot that do the most amazing fresh chicken rolls but they have also

Started doing these sausage and egg muffins and this is definitely the best way to start the day and just around the corner we grabbed a coffee from society Cafe Meandering through the streets and shops and yes the sun decided to make an appearance again if you have been to any

Of these quaint British towns you have definitely seen these budge shops before and the one and Bar is actually their original store absolutely worth a stop if you are a sweet tooth like me or if you just want to massively Zen out watching them make the fudge with all of

This energy I thought it is high time that we make good on the promise of climbing up the towers of B Abby and that is exactly what we did next it is about £15 for this tour and as someone who is not a history buff I absolutely

Loved it our guide was so engaging and that really makes the world of difference you also get to explore all of the nooks and crannies of the Abbey from inside the clock tower to the B Tower where you even get your own show of the Bells and of course the

Incredible but very windy views over the city from the Rooftop and that very sadly brings our bath Vlog to a close if you enjoyed this make sure to hit subscribe I’m planning to do a lot more videos that are like Day and weekend trips from London this year so stick around for that and I will see you in the next video bye
