Last week we rented a car and drove across to bath via Stonehenge and Avebury. Stonehenge was amazing, perched in the middle of a wild, windswept field. Avebury is less well known, but some just as impressive stones and earthworks.

After we had finished stonewatching, we completed our drive up to Bath. The weather by now was constant heavy rain so we stayed in for the night, watching the end of the All Blacks before heading out to spend some time in the local, trying some native ales, while watching Scotland beat Australia (did that really happen, or did we have too many brews?).
The next day was just as bad weather wise, but we bravely headed out. First stop was the Roman Bath house, amazingly complete ruins. We then stopped at Sally Lunns for an original Sally Lunn bun, not like expected but yummy anyway. Next we wandered the town and markets, dodging the rain. Saw the pulteney bridge over the river Avon, the Cresent and finally the Bath Abbey.
Roman Baths
On our way home we made a spontaneous stop in Oxford for an explore. Wasn't too much to see, as it was dark by now, but found the Oxford castle and a cool pedestrian town centre filled with students.
Next up Porto!!
