Love this reflection! I was the one who commented on the experience at Bath and it was indeed very different from our visit to Hadrian’s wall or even to other Roman sites I’ve been to that are more “open air”. I’m sure part of it’s because there is still a functioning spa adjacent to the Roman ruins in Bath (and I didn’t see any spas while sloshing through muddy sheepfields along Hadrian’s wall, much though I could have used one)!
I’d love to go to Bath, and Hadrian’s Wall! I have had some wonderful experiences in England with other Roman ruins, though, so I can’t complain too much!
I LOVED getting to hear your & Carolyn's thoughts on the Anglo-Saxon experience of Roman ruins...so, so fascinating. Thanks so much for sharing these photos (how adorable are you?!) and info. The ingenuity that went into Roman baths always blows my mind!!

I knew the Antonine wall existed but didn’t realize there were so many ruins to see. Very neat!
Thanks, Carolyn!
Fascinating! Bring back bath houses
