    It was much more interesting than I thought it would be, and then you get to walk around some of the assembly rooms!

    Sally Lunn's is a must-visit if you're in Bath. This is the oldest "eating house" in Bath and for…read moregood reason! We had reservations for a tea party - you can also make regular everyday reservations. The tea party included a pot of tea or coffee of your choice along with Savory and Sweet Course. For the savory bun of choice, I chose the Smoked Salmon and for the sweet course, the Cinnamon Butter Bun. While I am not a tea drinker, I loved every moment of it. It was a lot of fun to have a tea party and the food was more than I had expected. If you're not able to eat at Sally Lunn's, they also sell their famous buns by the box!

    We came to Bath on a tour and enjoyed our time walking through the town. There was a long line out…read morethe door when we first walked by and were told about this place's history. Later on in the afternoon, I saw no line outside so ventured up and there was a short line inside for those wanting to dine-in. Since I just wanted to go down to the shop, I was able to walk right down. There is a small display down there and little souvenirs. The best part though is that you can order the buns to-go here and they bring them to you outside where you will be waiting after shopping in the shop. I got one of each flavor and waited about 10 minutes for the buns to arrive. It came in a fancy box, but no bag as you had to have purchased that back in the shop. Of the Lemon, Cinnamon, and chocolate, my favorite was Lemon. The curd was so thick and rich and the bun perfectly toasted. Highly recommend!!

    The Herschel Museum of Astronomy - View from the bottom of the garden

    The Herschel Museum of Astronomy

    First of all, the title of this museum should not be "The Herschel Museum of Astronomy". Instead,…read moreit should just be "The Herschel Museum" because the content had little to nothing to do with astronomy and more to do with the life of William Herschel. NOTES: ~ First off, I should note that I am an avid lover of astronomy especially since I studied science myself in university. I am highly fascinated with astronomy as well as history. This is just to note that I am not looking through the lens of an uneducated person who "just doesn't get it" so don't write me off. ~ 6 pounds entry fee for adults. This museum, at first glance, was dodgy as hell. You ring the doorbell and a man dressed in plain clothes opens the door and lets you in. Then he tells you to pay and go to the dark and dingy basement to watch a video. WHAT. THE. FUCK? However, the video shown on a tiny tv set (placed upon a basic table with white dining tablecloth over it no less) had more content than anything else in the museum. Narrated by Sir Patrick Moore, it told the life of William Herschel and his sister who designed powerful telescopes unprecedented at the time. The video was very interesting unlike the rest of the museum or should I say dodgy house. Customer Service: The employees here made 0 effort in being engaging. You have the young university-age hipster looking woman running the cash register, and the dodgy man who opened the door for us talking to her. Don't bother them with any questions, they won't answer them, nor will they give you any interesting tidbits. In fact, it is quite safe to say that aside from opening doors and running cash registers these people have absolutely no idea what they're doing. Content: The most interesting thing about the museum is that it is set in William Herschel's actual home. The second most interesting thing is looking at the old clothes of his sister because they were incredibly petite. You know there's something wrong when someone's size becomes the #2 most interesting thing in a museum. Like I said, this museum has nearly nothing about astronomy and more content on William Herschel's life. They set up his music room and dining room as well as some old copies of his journals and his old traveling trunk, but aside from pocket astrolabes there was absolutely fuck all on astronomy. Aside from a telescope and astrolabe, there was in fact nothing at all. Not even much on his discovery of Uranus or information about the planet. It feels like his achievements and love for astronomy has put on the backburner, but the neat-o preserved house is at the forefront. History museum? Yes. Astronomy museum? Fuck no.

    An admittedly small museum, but an interesting one, nonetheless. William Herschel was a musician…read moreand composer, and an astronomer and inventor of telescopes. But you know him best as the guy who discovered your anus.

    Not the best gallery, the admission just for a small area is not worth it. The free part on the…read moresecond floor is pretty interesting. You can roam around freely.

We were welcomed immediately upon entering and never felt any sense of pressure to hurry through the gallery. If anything, we could have (and maybe should have) stayed a bit longer to take it all in - there's plenty of seats in which to sit back and do so. But I appreciate all that we saw, including (but not limited to): 'The Bride of Death' painting by Thomas Jones Barker (I was taken with all the symbolism within what is essentially one story frame), Edwin Whitney-Smith's 'The Scarab' bronze statue, and - much to my surprise - the white cabinets against the walls of the room that are positively filled with pullout drawers housing watercolors and pencil sketches of Bath, Somerset, and England (one in particular caught my eye: it was the view looking down on Bath from Alexandra Park, and I had literally just come from the same physical vantage point [and couldn't help but compare my modern day phone photo to the piece of art from the 1800's). I am sure that if we were locals that we'd attend any number of the amazing community focused events they host throughout the year as well. Here's the thing: if art is not your thing... don't come. However: if you love art, even if you just kinda like art, if history and/or art are at all fascinating to you, if you only really like one artist and they carry one of their pieces, you should absolutely come here. It's not an all day affair (the gallery is actually quite small), so give yourself an hour or two and enjoy just another corner of how incredible the city of Bath really is.
