Thousands of years of history -- the bottom is the great Roman bath (the water is now green because it's uncovered, permitting algae growth, but in Roman times there was a roof and the water stayed clear); the upper segments were Georgian additions when Bath became popular in the 18th century; and the building looming in the background is Bath Abbey.
King Bladud, a mythical king who allegedly found the baths, and was cured of leprosy by them - I think 'Bladud' would be a great name for a celebrity kid.
The River Avon passing under the Pulteney Bridge.
The tea room in the Bath Assembly Rooms -- the Assembly Rooms were another hot place to visit during the Regency period, and dances and card games were available almost every night of the season.
