Bath's so lovely, I've just got to write this post to I can remind myself to go back!
Even in the winter with what little sunlight hours and waterfalls of rain the UK has, all their small towns still amaze me. Meet Bath, a world heritage site famous for its Roman Baths and historic atmosphere. Bath is just a stone throw east of Bristol, with just a 15 minutes train ride away at 4£ or less!

Things to eat in Bath
Have you ever had fluffy homemade buns spread with love? Well I have! The place to go is Sally Lunn's. "The oldest house in Bath, since 1482", serving up the best bun type bread I have ever had.

A must try is their signature bun with milk caramel. Milk caramel is better known as Dulce de Leche from Argentina, but I've taste several and I find the ones they make here is the bomb. You can really taste the briny texture of the salt but it kicks you a step back to the beautiful caramelization of milk and sugar. If they sold it at their shop, I would have bought 10 bottles back.

You see it everywhere in England, and there are probably other places you've read about that claims that they have the best Cornish Pasty, but I've stumbled upon a shop that gives you quality pasties without queuing up in line! The shops name is Pasty Presto, and it's located just outside Bath Abbey. I'm just about sure many mass goers head there to pick up a pasty after morning service. Their traditional pasty is filled with minced beef, onions, turnips and potatoes. To me, its the best one to try if it's your first time trying one.

At every town I go, I must find ice cream. Because I'm almost certain that locals everywhere will always have their go to spot for an ice cream fix. After some research and since everything is a few minutes walk away, there was The Real Italian Ice Cream Co. They have many flavours but all are good and it's a matter of personal preference. The one I had was raspberry and it was amazing!!
