Repeat visit with the family to this famous waterpark. Managed to park in the car park, but at £9, enough time to cover a typical swim session, it's an extra cost to the relatively high ticket price per head. Other parking is available nearby at cheaper rates but with a walk or tram ride.
Our little ones enjoyed the wave pool, smaller slides and lazy river. The older ones enjoyed the adrenaline feature tube rides, too. The changing areas are looking a bit tired but remain functional. The electronic wrist band operated lockers work well. There's a fast food cafe with seating and a vip area around the pool area as an option.
Churchill Bridge
2023 Jun 12
Churchill (Southgate) Bridge - The Junction between the A367 and the A36 is an elongated roundabout underneath the Railway line. Originally, a much smaller roundabout existed here, using the twin portals of Brunel's Railway Bridge, but when the area was re-planned in the 1960s, Wells Road was re-aligned and the Churchill Bridge built, to allow a much larger roundabout to be installed. Fascinating castle inspired architecture.
The Cross Bath

Stumbled across this historic beauty during a walk around Bath. The information board states its origins (see photos). The current venue is apparently available for private hire.
Grade II listed Hydraulic tower at Wapping Dock, dated 1856, Jesse Hartley. Battered granite rubble base with Tudor-arched opening. Upper part octagonal; brick with rusticated stone quoins. Date incised at top of east face. Battlemented parapet on granite machicolation. One-storey granite block to rear has Tudor-arched windows and entrance, and later brick gable.
