Things to do in Bath, England: The Best Monuments & Statues
Known for its restorative wonders, Bath was once the home of Jane Austen. Sure, you could attempt to conjure up this elegant city by reading Pride and Prejudice in your tub, but as Bath has a lot more history than your bathroom (we assume, anyway) you'd be missing out. A stroll through Bath is like visiting an open-air museum, with roughly 5,000 buildings in the city drawing notice for their architectural merit. After your stroll, soak in the natural hot waters of the Thermae Bath Spa, once a favorite of the Celts and Romans.

I was there at the unveiling of this memorial in 2014, which was quite a grand occasion. Governor Phillip lived out his last days in the house opposite (a private residence but has a plaque outside). He is marked by quite a few sites in Australia (e.g. Port Phillip Bay, a big memorial in Sydney) but until 2014 was little known or celebrated in his homeland. A nice spot on a sunny day to have lunch and contemplate Australia's early colonisation and the achievements of this remarkable but humble man. Phillip is buried in nearby Bathampton if you are on an Arthur Phillip pilgrimage, and there's a stone in the floor of the nave of Westminster Abbey too. I acknowledge, of course, the traditional aboriginal inhabitants of Australia.
