But it wasn’t all cakes in Bath, a sophisticated spa town with a University, upscale boutiques, and a history of partying since the 18th century heyday of Beau Nash.
On the upper edge of the old city is one of many architectural beauties, a circular park ringed by cobblestoned streets and three elegant wedges of five-story Georgian rowhouses. It’s called the Circus. And at one corner is the town’s excellent little bistro, Circus, whose menu is long on local, seasonal, and organically-sourced dishes. We enjoyed salmon, potted local grouse, outstanding salads with tender greens and organic hazelnuts, and opulent plates of freshly-harvested vegetables.
