Our last few days have seen us journey north through the rolling countryside of the Atlantic Coastal Highway.
We stayed overnight just outside Bath and the next morning caught the bus into the city and then did the sightseeing bus rides to hear the history and take in the views.
Again we in awe of the design that went into the buildings back then and we certainly enjoyed our morning roaming after the bus tours.
Bath of course is known for its Roman baths and the natural springs that feed the baths. With it being a clear sunny day and a Saturday it seemed that half the countryside had come for a look and the line awaiting to enter was nearly as long as that in Edinburgh to see the Crown jewels so being us we decided as we had sat in the Roman bath house at Hadrians Wall we would give this one a miss. After all we still had to return to our hotel and drive to our next destination just west of Oxford.
The days of long distances were now over as today and the next were going to be less than 100 miles so less chance of taking the wrong turn so often.
Our stay nearly 12 miles out of Oxford was a little old pub that on a sunny Sunday was definately the place to be. Right beside a canal with lots of old boats moored there to add to the scenery they had a large outdoor area with tables and chairs as well as inside and the place was crawling with people. I think the food must have bee
