Bath somehow weaves together threads of small﹣town life with metropolitan style． It has galleries， museums and theaters． It's a college town anchored by the University of Bath． And it is a UNESCO World Heritage site． Even on a mere day trip from London， just 90 minutes away by train， Bath bubbles over with charm． Bath Abbey
