Parties exist not because there are two sides to every question, but because there are two sides to every office—an outside and an inside.

Bath

Abstract

Bath is a major center of tourism, having Roman, Georgian and literary links. So it can take care of itself and needs no puffing from here. But it is a place where anyone coming to visit Frome should also visit. It is only 12 miles (20km) north of Frome and accessible by car from Frome in about half an hour, or by train or coach in about 50 minutes. So here are a few pictures to show Bath’s remarkable elegance. Bath, illustrious neighbour of the Wessex town of Frome

Bath: Frome’s Illustrious Neighbour

Bath is a major center of tourism, having Roman, Georgian and literary links. So it can take care of itself and needs no puffing from here. But it is a place where anyone coming to visit Frome should also visit. It is only 12 miles (20km) north of Frome and accessible by car from Frome in about half an hour, or by train or coach in about 50 minutes. So here are a few pictures to show Bath’s remarkable elegance. Perhaps we’ll write a little more about Bath sometime.

Before you go, think about this…

The Bridge of Dread appears in mediæval visions and romances, Gawain having to cross it, among others. It is “two miles long and scarcely the breadth of one hand”. It must be derived from the Cinvat Bridge of the Zoroastrians, the bridge that souls had to cross to reach heaven—broad and explansive for the righteous, but razor narrow for sinners. Beneath it was the abyss of hell. Did it come from the Saracens who adopted the idea from the Persians or did it come more directly via a northern branch of Aryans like the Saxons?
