The Roman Baths are one of Britain's greatest memorials to the Roman era. The photo pictured is of the main bath, known as The Great Bath. During the Roman times these Baths were used for bathing but also for curing illness. This is because the water of the Baths was believed to have curative properties. Due to the extensive excavations of the Baths, visitors are now able to see the skill of Roman engineering.

The students enjoyed going to Bath, especially the tour on the bus. After visiting the Roman Baths students were free to spend the rest of the day as they chose, some heading right back to the dorms, while others spent a little more time in Bath shopping or exploring the city.
