Going to Bath next year with my family, use to visit annually as a child. Such a breathtaking city. Everyone ought to visit this city at some point in their life. Another brilliant tour. You keep knocking them out of the park Rich Jones. Thank you.
I couldn't agree more about Bath. It is a lovely city. Enjoy your visit. Glad you're getting a chance to go back. While you're there, stop in at Flan O'Brien's for a pint. Tell Myles Gallagher I said hi. Cheers, Rich
Many thanks Richard, praise indeed & greatly appreciated. When next we're over in the UK whenever they decide to reopen the world we have plans do an edition on Warwick & the castle. Lovely place to live I would imagine. Best wishes & stay healthy. Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.

Also called "Bog Island" because pulic toilets were down the steps. I think that tree by the Abby is more than 100 yrs old, and they also used to hang people from it.
I also remember the water fountain working and drinking the warm coppery tasting water which was fed from the hot spring source in Bath which also feeds the Roman Baths. It was disconnected after some people became sick drinking it and it was found to contain pigeon dropping contamination.
@@leonh67 Thanks for the recommendation. I took a look and subscribed but I'm looking more for tours with commentaries for my friends in other countries.
Lovely video. I used to live in Bath (in Stall Street across the road from the roman baths). My only quibble with this video is his explanation of the origin of the name Bog Island. I don't believe it, reality is much funnier. By the way I was once invited by a musical friend to rock up to his house with my flute. He handed out music and we got into a boat, and played chamber music all the way down the river to that park where the weir is today (before the weir was built!). Great memories... Now I want to go back to Bath!
Thank yo so much for the kind words. I am so glad it brought back so many fine memories. I also appreciate your close attention to detail. I like to insert a little deliberate mistake in each video. I find it helps start conversations. However, I must admit, I don't think this was my best one. I seem to have upset the natives.

Thank you. Very informative video, and very knowledgeable guide.

@@justinkace9611 . Thanks for taking the time out to watch our Bath edition and also many thanks for the feedback greatly appreciated. Funny you should mention Salisbury, my spiritual home to be honest, we have just returned home to the States after a 4 week trip Britain & Paris. There is a lot more film “ in the can “ with a slightly different spin on the presentation, we spent 3 days in & around Salisbury & got some pretty decent footage as we were blessed with the weather. Hopefully we will be getting some stuff out onto RUclips in the near future , however, the wife is of the view that instagram is the way forward putting out short bite sized pieces rather than the lengthy historical editions of the past & see how that works out. I’ll give you a shout out when we launch something. Cheers, Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.
They are very different Ruqayah. First, you must consider your major and the school. Then, weigh the overall atmosphere. Bath is a bit more laid back and eclectic. My personal knowledge is not as thorough. I would suggest spending a long weekend in both to truly get a feel. If that isn't possible, reach out to current students via social media (i.e Facebook, blogs etc.) to get a feel for both places, as well as just searching the things to do on campus and in the area, matching your preferences and personality.

Hi there, we've really been enjoying your video, especially as we do youtube walks (in soulful cities). We've just filmed on in Bath too, so it's lovely to see a different eye view, thank you we've subscribed.
Rich, thank you for this incredible vídeo; Congratulations!!! you make us rush to visit this incredible city. WOuld you mind telling me what background song was used at the beginning and the end of the vídeo?
Marco, The music is from Audio Jungle. We looked in piano music category. We found some things we liked and then mixed it ourselves. Thank you for the compliment on the video. Bath is a great city. You should visit.
Apparently the oldest house in Bath is just off Broad Street near King Edwards School. Possibly constructed of white or blue lias. There used to be a lias wall at the narrow entrance to Shires Yard next to Dr Oliver's on Broad street. True locals have thick skin for a reason but if you ask for local information you may be quaintly surprised. There is a running joke between locals: if you live in Bath and you have a suntan then you have just come back from a holiday in hell.
There is no running joke between locols I'm 56 lived in Bath all my iife and never heard that saying and the oldest building is the abby the oldest dwelling is Sally luns bun shop and cafe has a small museum which tells you all about it
Is he for real? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I hope he was Joking at first when he took his glasses off🤭😁😁😁 and and when his head swaggers so much, so cringe worthy, hope he was joking anyway if not.... sorry, poor chap. Bless! 😉

Your history is wrong..The Celts were all over Europe before the expansion of the Roman Empire. Celts even invaded and conquered the city of Rome. They weren't pushed into the North...and Britain isn't a mongrel nation..all those early tribes were closely related Europeans and invaded in small numbers...Vikings, Saxons, Normans are all Germanic peoples.
Thank you for the feedback. This is not intended to be a history lecture but a general overview of city's highlights to serve as a guide of that city.
