Motorhome Tales

Loving life on the road - although it's part time (for now!).

Wednesday, September 13, 2006



We left the New Forest on a very sunny Wednesday morning to head North to the beautiful city of Bath. We stayed on a wonderful site in a wooded valley south of Bath near Twerton (Newton Mill campsite). The facilities were excellent and they even had their own pub and restaurant (along the riverside) on site - which we used both nights!!!! We walked into Bath (following the site's written instructions) down a track, under a railway bridge, over a sports field, down a road and onto the Cycle Path into the city! It took us a fair while (just over an hour) but once we reached the city we knew it had been well worth it. What a fantastic place, so much to see and do. We spent 3 or 4 hours visiting all the main attractions (from the outside obviously because not many of them, if any, let you take dogs inside!). After having our lunch sat alongside the canal near to the Bath Rugby ground we decided to go on the open top bus tour of the city, just in case we'd missed anything! After that we took the long (well, we had been on our feet for 6 or 7 hours!) walk back to the site. During our evening meal (sat in the pub garden) we watched two young kingfishers enjoying themselves searching for fish. A hot air baloon also passed overhead - much to Paddy's disgust (something else he's now scared stiff of!!!!).
