Weekend in the English Countryside

We spent the holiday long weekend in early November with an escape to the English countryside.  It was a nice, and relaxing trip.  We stayed at an adorable B&B in an old Victorian home in the town of Bath, England.  We spend our first day exploring the area including visiting the famous stone circles of Stonehenge and Avebury....we found Avebury, the lesser known of the two to be the coolest one.  The size and scope of the stone patterns was simply amazing!  We spent our second day exploring the town of Bath...a charming city famous for its old Roman architecture and Roman baths.  After a long day of exploring we spent the evening relaxing in the Roman thermal baths.  Our favorite was the outdoor rooftop bath.  While it was cold outside, the baths felt so warm and relaxing.  And, we were lucky enough to witness a fireworks show over the city while relaxing!
 If you are ever making a trip to London add a few days to make an easy stop in Bath!
