I decided to get away for the half term break and stretch my photography a little further. We visited Bath (the city, duh!) for a few days, then spent a day in the Cotswold and another day exploring Cambridge. They’re all lovely old cities with plenty of history, charm and tourists! Bath is an ancient city and has a lot of amazing history to explore – particularly the Roman Baths and the unique circular architecture in Royal Crescent and the Circus. I managed to get some nice shots.
Cotswold was a quick stop through on the way home. The weather was lovely and the main part of the Cotswold was very vibrant and had a really fun, sunny vibe with people picknicking on the grass, playing in the shallow stream (which my kids enjoyed while harassing the ducks!) and having a pint in local pubs.
Cambridge is something special. Particularly the free museums everywhere that are also working environments for zoological and archaeological students. There were so many great little museums to dip in and out of. But Cambridge also had a great street photographers vibe – from the Palestinian protest camp, to the students on bicycles, the canal boats, the bridges and the character of the people and places. It’d be worth spending some time in Cambridge, just to explore the streets more and capture the personality of the city.
