Places to see in ( Bath - UK ) Pulteney Bridge
Pulteney Bridge crosses the River Avon in Bath, England. It was completed by 1774, and connected the city with the newly built Georgian town of Bathwick. Designed by Robert Adam in a Palladian style, Pulteney Bridge is exceptional in having shops built across its full span on both sides. Pulteney Bridge has been designated as a Grade I listed building.
Within 20 years of its construction, alterations were made that expanded the shops and changed the façades. By the end of the 18th century it had been damaged by floods, but it was rebuilt to a similar design. Over the next century alterations to the shops included cantilevered extensions on the Pulteney Bridge north and south faces. In the 20th century several schemes were carried out to preserve the Pulteney Bridge and partially return it to its original appearance, enhancing its appeal as a tourist attraction.
The Pulteney Bridge is now 45 metres (148 ft) long and 18 metres (58 ft) wide. Although there have been plans to pedestrianise the bridge, Pulteney Bridge is still used by buses and taxis. The much photographed bridge and the weir below are close to the centre of the city, which is a World Heritage Site largely because of its Georgian architecture.

Places to see in ( Henley on Thames - UK )
Henley-on-Thames is a historic market town and civil parish on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England, 9 miles northeast of Reading, 7 miles west of Maidenhead and 23 miles southeast of Oxford. One of Henley on Thames boundaries has the tripoint of Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.
Henley Bridge is a five arched bridge across the river built in 1786. It is a Grade I listed building. During 2011 the bridge underwent a £200,000 repair programme after being hit by the boat Crazy Love in August 2010. About a mile upstream of the bridge is Marsh Lock. Chantry House is the second Grade I listed building in the town. It is unusual in having more storeys on one side than on the other.
The Church of England parish church of St Mary the Virgin is nearby, and has a 16th-century tower. The Old Bell is a pub in the centre of Henley. The building has been dated from 1325: the oldest-dated building in the town of Henley on Thames. To celebrate Queen Victoria's Jubilee, 60 oak trees were planted in the shape of a Victoria Cross near Fair Mile.
Henley on Thames railway station is on the Henley Branch Line from Twyford. There are direct trains into London Paddington during peak hours. At other times one must change trains at Twyford. There are express mainline rail services from Reading (6 miles or 10 km away) to Paddington.
Henley is a world-renowned centre for rowing. Each summer the Henley Royal Regatta is held on Henley Reach, a naturally straight stretch of the river just north of the town. It was extended artificially. The event became Royal in 1851, when Prince Albert became patron of the regatta. Other regattas and rowing races are held on the same reach, including Henley Women's Regatta, the Henley Boat Races for women's and lightweight teams between Oxford and Cambridge University, Henley Town and Visitors Regatta, Henley Veteran Regatta, Upper Thames Small Boats Head, Henley Fours and Eights Head, and Henley Sculls. These Heads often attract strong crews that have won medals at National Championships.

The Pump Room, Bath, England
Adjoining the Roman Baths, the Pump Room is a genteel, civilized way to enjoy a little old English charm. The author Jane Austen danced here many a time in her years in Bath in the early 1800's, when it was a ballroom. Great to stop here for morning or afternoon tea, or lunch, after a visit to the Baths.
