Sydney Gardens

Sydney Gardens in Bath
This is an example of an 18th-century pleasure garden - similar, but smaller than Vauxhall Gardens in London. You'd come here to promenade around and show off your latest fashions and gossip about everybody in town. I think it's one of the prettiest spots in Bath ... one of many, but it is beautiful.






This is the Holburn Museum, formerly an eighteenth-century hotel that led into the gardens.

(Dad, you'd love this place. It's a beautiful park with a bridge right over the railroad. You can stand on the bridge and watch all the trains go by.)








Grecian temples scattered throughout, like Stourhead
