Bath - Roman Baths The main reason that people come to Bath is to see the Roman Baths, built over 2000 years ago they are still in remarkably good condition. |

London - British Museum The British Museum is a great place to spend a wet day in London (or a dry one come to that). It manages to show 50,000 of its 13 million exhibits and there are some amazing pieces. Whether they actually should be there is a matter of fierce debate, particularly if you are from Greece or Nigeria. |

London - British Museum - Rosetta Stone Another controversial exhibit - the Rosetta Stone, found by labourers in 1799 near the Egyptian town of Dumyatta (where I worked from 1990-92) it is written in three languages: hieroglyphic, demotic and classical Greek. The Rosetta Stone was the key to Champollion's incredible work - deciphering hieroglyphics. For a close up of the stone, click here |

London - St.Paul's Cathedral St. Paul's Cathedral, designed by Christopher Wren, was built in the 17th Century and amazingly, survived the Blitz during the Second World War. |
