Part III Extended Activities Dictation There is no place like the English countryside for those who love it: its firm yet gentle lines of hills and valleys, its ordered confusion of features, its parks and lowland, its ancient castles and houses, its cottages and churches, its farms and trees, its pools and ponds and shining rivers—all present a peaceful and lovely sight. Much of the countryside is of course farmland but here are often paths through the fields, called public footpaths, which you can walk along. It is good for people to walk through such a land, forgetting all the worries of the world, and become just happy wanderers in a world of pleasant breezes and song-birds and shady trees. Roman Bath The Roman Baths is below the modern street level and has four main features, the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple, the Roman bath house and finds from Roman Bath. The Georgian Pump Room is on the ground level. 1 Entrance; 2 The Terrace; 3 Sacred Spring; 4 Objects from the Spring; 5 Temple; 6 Temple courtyard; 7 People of Aquae Sulis; 8 The Spring overflow; 9 Great Bath; 10 Changing rooms and saunas; 11 Heated rooms and plunge pools; 12 The shop 1 Entrance Begin your visit in the magnificent Victorian reception hall, opposite the west door of Bath Abbey. Here you can purchase a ticket and receive your personal audio-guide at no extra cost. Take a moment to notice the ceiling, decorated with images of the four seasons and surmounted by an elegant dome. 2 The Terrace The Terrace overlooks the Great Bath and is lined with statues of Roman Governors of Britain, Emperors and military leaders. The statues date to 1894, as they were carved in advance of the grand opening of the Roman Baths in 1897. The Roman Baths were not discovered and explored until the late nineteenth century. The view from the Terrace is the first view you have as a visitor to the baths, but what you can see from here is less than a quarter of the site
