PULTENEY BRIDGE REVIEWS
A wonderful walk on the river passing by this bridge. There are many shops and restaurants around. The river has a unique atmosphere every moment of the year, you can spend your time there beautifully as you will see in the photos and canoes. There is parking nearby.
Beautiful place. There is really nice cafe on the bridge where can you have a coffee and a delicious cake and enjoy the view to the river. Park around is great for a walk, so you can see the bridge from different angles.
Lovely bridge and architecture. There's also a lovely garden situated next to bridge costing £2 for entry. You could spend some time relaxing here just people watching etc. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby.

Farleigh Hungerford Castle is a medieval fortress constructed in two phases between 1377 and 1383 in Bath, UK. The Houlton family acquired the castle in 1730, ending the direct maintenance by its original owners. Primarily owned by the Hungerford family for the following two centuries, the castle was eventually sold to English Heritage in 1915, transforming it into a tourist attraction. Adjacent to the castle is a deer park, and the English Heritage offers a free audio tour narrating the intriguing and sometimes sinister stories of Farleigh's past residents. This audio tour serves as a comprehensive guide to the history of Farleigh Hungerford Castle.

FARLEIGH HUNGERFORD CASTLE REVIEWS
Has the oldest wall painting very rare. Has an interesting crypt and some tombs in the chapel. Toilets and gift shop. They have a brilliant audio tour and signage which was very interesting. The setting is beautiful and the remaining ruins are gorgeous. Staff very friendly. We spent longer here than we expected and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Lovely castle to visit with a small church and family crypt to see too. Small shop on site and toilets. Although it’s not a massive castle, it’s definitely worth a visit maybe with a picnic in the summer months.
Fantastic castle, the chapel being a particular highlight. I’d highly recommend the audio tour. Be aware that the car park is through the castle gate, you’ll then need to walk back to get tickets.

Bath Assembly Rooms served as the hub of fashionable Georgian society, offering an ideal setting for entertainment. Illuminated by five intricate Georgian chandeliers and specifically designed for dancing, the Ballroom witnessed the glamour and luxury of the late Georgian era, transitioning over time to function as a cinema, concert hall, and lecture theatre. The card room, an addition completed in 1777 following the main building's completion, was constructed to accommodate additional space for gambling and gaming. The Assembly Rooms are rented for various events, including weddings, dinners, conferences, meetings, exhibitions, concerts, and parties. Furthermore, it has earned a reputation as one of the premier locations for filming.

BATH ASSEMBLY ROOMS REVIEWS
We attended the Mozartfest in Bath. Two of the sessions were held here. The acoustics made every note discernible even at the back of the room. There was an easily accessible disabled toilet and everything was on one level. The main toilets were downstairs. The staff were wonderful and there were hot and cold drinks available with free glasses of water as much as you could need. Marvelous venue for superb musical performances.
Beautiful old building - looking forward to it being out to good use by the National Trust when they've had the time to finish the archeological and preservation work it's undergoing.
Beautiful venue, especially interesting if you like Jane Austen as she visited the assembly rooms and pump room and writes about them in her books.
