Bath, about 100 miles west of London, is the largest city in Somerset, England. It became a World Heritage Site in 1987.
The city got its name from the Roman Baths, which was a place for public bathing in Roman Britain. The water there is naturally heated under the ground. Today visitors are no longer allowed to enter the water. However, the exhibitions there will tell you the history of the Roman Baths. You can see many ancient Roman objects, including the coins that were thrown into the water to show respect for the goddess.
In the city, you will see many old buildings in the color of honey. Among them, the Royal Crescent and the Circus are the most famous. The Royal Crescent is a row of 30 buildings in the shape of a crescent(新月形). The Circus is about 200 meters to the east of the Royal Crescent. It is a huge circle formed by large townhouses. It is divided into three parts of the same length by three entrances with a lawn（草坪）in the centre. When visiting Bath, you can’t miss these two sites.
The museums in the city are also popular. You can go and appreciate Western paintings. If you are interested in the English writer Jane Austen, you can go to the Jane Austen Centre to know more about her life with her family in Bath. If you come in October, you can even take part in the Bath International Film Festival.（E9201003）
