Leaving Pant, we headed south through Wales, pausing in South Wales to see Caerphilly Castle. |
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
From there, we moved on to Tintern Abbey on the banks of the River Wye right on the border between Wales and England. |

This was our B&B in Bath: "Mrs Johnston's B&B". It looked a bit forbidding on the outside ... |
 |
|
... but the bedroom was very luxurious. |
 |
|
This was the vew over Bath from our bedroom window. Note the canal in the foreground and the railway further back. To get into central Bath, we walked across a bridge over the canal, and then under the railway ... |
 |
|
... and then past the cricket ground before arriving at central Bath. |

We went to Bradford-on-Avon, where there is this Saxon church, rediscovered in Victorian times after being put to many purposes. |
 |
|
Inside the church is a very special place. |
