Battle Abbey - Novices' Quarters
image
On 14 October 1066 an army of invading Normans led by William the Conqueror, defeated the English at the Battle of Hastings in East Sussex. William vowed to build an abbey where the Battle of Hastings had taken place, and some of the original building still survives. the rest of the abbey was destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII.

Thermal Baths at Bath
image
These baths built in the first century AD come from a natural geothermal spring, and being thermal, are naturally heated to a toasty 46 degrees celcius. The temp at the time of this shot was 0, so there was plenty of steam rising from its surface.. You can also see Bath Abbey lit up in the late evening in the background of the shot.
The spring itself first thought used by early man, with finds of ancient knives of flint stone found in the area.
In the first century, Romans used this as a pleasure resort, and built a complex of hot rooms, and a temple to the Goddess Sulis Minerva.
I highly recommend a visit to this city if you travel to the UK, with other ancient wonders near, it's a jam packed few days :)

Malmesbury abbey at dawn
image
The Abbey is at the centre of Malmesbury and can be seen for miles around. However the existing structure is about one third the size of the building at its greatest extent.
From the right angle it makes a picturesque ruin...
