The weather turned sunny and we could not bring ourselves to go inside and tour the damp Roman baths. Instead we climbed the steep hill to see the famous Circus and Royal Crescent as well as the Royal Victoria Park, hiked back down to the posh shops, took a look at the exterior architecture of the baths, and strolled along the River Avon.
The Royal Crescent was erected by John Wood Jnr 1767-75

Royal Victoria Park. The nearby Circus development also on the hilltop, was erected by John Wood Senr & Jnr 1754-75, overlapping their Royal Crescent by two years
We walked down Royal Avenue and gates with lions seemed to mark the entrance to the park
