Highlights of the places visited.

Tetbury
Is an area of outstanding natural beauty & the second largest town in the Cotswolds & is in the county of Gloucestershire. It is of great architectural interest. It remains substantially the same as it was in the 16th & 17th centuries when it reached the height of its prosperity as a wool town. The picturesque Market House in the town centre of Tetbury is an immediate reminder of the history of the town.
It is the home of King Charles III & Camilla, Queen Consort of the United Kingdom. Tetbury was an important market for Cotswold wool & yarn during the Middle Ages. Today, it is better associated with boutique shops, great food, & its Royal Connections.

Bath

Bath is a city in the ceremonial county of Somerset, known for & named after its Roman-built baths. Bath is in the valley of the River Avon, 97 miles west of London & 11 miles southeast of Bristol. The city became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, & was later added to the transnational World Heritage Site known as the “Great Spa Towns of Europe” in 2021. Bath is also the largest city & settlement in Somerset.

One of Bath’s principal industries is tourism, with annually more than one million staying visitors & 3.8 million day visitors. The visits mainly fall into the categories of heritage tourism and cultural tourism, aided by the city’s selection in 1987 as a World Heritage Site in recognition of its international cultural importance. All significant stages of the history of England are represented within the city, from the Roman Baths (including their significant Celtic presence), to Bath Abbey & the Royal Crescent, to the more recent Thermae Bath Spa.

There are many Roman archaeological sites throughout the central area of the city. The baths themselves are about 6 metres (20 ft) below the present city street level. Around the hot springs, Roman foundations, pillar bases, & baths can still be seen; however, all the stonework above the level of the baths is from more recent periods.
