Apex City Of Bath Hotel (2017) **** Reviews on line. Good location on the corner of James Street West in center city. Walk to sites in Bath. Great staff. Pool. Make tea in room. Restaurant has a limited menu. Great breakfast. Phone says 5.1 miles, 12,402 steps and climbed 1 floor.
My opinion - Great room and bathroom. Great location. Bad breakfast.
Bath - Stonehenge - Salisbury - Bath
Tour Information "Today we visit one of the world’s most iconic sights. Travel to Stonehenge, the mysterious rock formation that dates back to the Stone Age. Explore various theories on how the colossal stones arrived here and try to imagine their true purpose. Then it’s off to the medieval market town of Salisbury. Enjoy free time to explore on your own before visiting the famous cathedral that towers above the city. Join a local guide who takes you on a tour through Britain’s finest 13th-century ornate, Gothic cathedral." Our schedule for the day was reversed and worked well as Stonehenge was not crowded.
My Info - A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument dating to 3000 BC to 2000 BC), is a ring of standing stones. Each stone measures about 13 feet high, seven feet wide and weighs in around 25 tons. Luckily we went to Stonehenge in the afternoon and it was not too crowded. Stonehenge was what I expected and left wondering - “How’d they do that?” The vistas along the road included large fields. I found it interesting that there wasn’t a stone in sight.

Salisbury is a medieval cathedral city in the county of Wiltshire located in southern England. It lies in a valley and five rivers come together in Salisbury. These rivers are prone to flooding in the winter months. The cathedral has a 14th-century clock and an original copy of the Magna Carta. Since we are there on Tuesday, the Charter market was open.
Salisbury Cathedral
This was an amazing holy water font in the Salisbury Cathedral.
When the tower was added, the building required reinforcement. More stone columns were added, they are the dark brown columns. .
