We have had a wonderful saunter through SURREY, a browse through BERKSHIRE (thanks to Paul) and a wander through WILTSHIRE (with Vince) and some move on to SOMERSET (where the cider apples grow! lol)

Leaving Devizes in Wiltshire we are heading for BATH, a wonder city of Georgian Architecture & Roman Remains.  There are many attractions in Bath itself including Bath Abbey; Roman Baths and Pump Rooms; Sally Lunn's; Royal Crescent, Theatre Royal, Prior Park & the Botanical Gardens.
