Yes, I joined the National Trust!

I love Sundays. They are the one day in an otherwise busy week that I always try my hardest to set aside and explore somewhere new, or somewhere old.

As I have only lived in Bath for a couple of months, I am still in the new phase of visiting places, which I absolutely love. I am fortunate enough to live in the prettiest city in England (in my opinion!) and there is no shortage of things to do.

This past Sunday, after a strained morning of studying in the library, I made my way back down the hill to meet up with my friend Harriet. Our aim, to make it to Prior Park, located just over a mile from the city centre.

Prior Park is a National Trust owned landscape garden originally cinstructed in the 18th century. It boasts some amazing views of the surrounding area, thanks to Bath's hilly location. As well as a Palladian Bridge.

We decided to bookend our visit with lunch at a local garden centre on the walk up the hill, and a cup of coffee and cake in Bath city centre afterwards. Which were both well received, even if the sandwiches we ordered did take half an hour to arrive! 

Overall it was a lovely autumnal Sunday and a welcome break from the reality of university life.
