Bath

We went to visit Bath last week.

On the way there we saw Salisbury Cathedral. It was really big and it had one of the biggest spires in Britain.

We also visited Old Sarum. It's an old ruined castle. It used to be an iron age fort.

Then we saw Stonehenge (which means 'hanging stones'). Fact: the stone in the middle of Stonehenge with the lump on it was made to hold a stone up. Each month the sun shines through a different one of the little holes.

The next day we spent in Bath. First we went to the Roman baths. They were where Roman people would have baths and swims together.

Then we went to the Pump room. That's a place where in Jane Austen times and before, people would hang out and have food and drinks. It was a bit like a cafe. We had 'Bath buns' there.

After that we went to the Fashion Museum. At the Fashion museum we drew dresses and a I did a sticker trail. I also dressed up like a Victorian. It was my favourite thing I did. It was educational and fun.

Next we went to the Jane Austen centre. It was a place where we learned about Jane Austen. I learned that she never married - she was engaged for 24 hours once, but that was it.

Then we went to Bath Abbey. It was really fun. We also did a quiz. The quiz was really educational.

 On our last day we went to some cute villages. One had a nice little stream and lots of bridges.

After that we went to Oxford. First we went to C.S. Lewis' house (Clive Staples Lewis). C.S. Lewis wrote the Narnia series.

Then we went to his church.

Then we went to J.R.R. Tolkien's house. (J.R.R. Tolkien wrote the Lord Of The Rings).

Next, we went to the Eagle and Child (where J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis met sometimes).

Our last stop was the Martyrs' memorial.
