London is a fantastic city with historical signficance, and thousands of tourists visit it every year. However, about four hours North of London is "The North" of England, with rolling hills, open countryside and an abundance of historical and beautiful places to visit. The Lake District is one of those, where Bill Clinton proposed to Hillary Clinton, and writers such as Wordsworth took their inspiration. And even beyond The Lake District, there is so much more to see.
There are the ruins of a Roman bathhouse tucked away on a path that would be easy to pass by, except for the miniscule brown sign pointing the way to it. When you arrive, there is a sign post telling the reader what little is known about the site itself. It is half excavated, and lies in the shadow of an apartment building in Ribchester. Fifty feet away, just beyond a wire fence, there is a large pile of stones, which look suspiciously like those behind the sign, except these are covered with items long disused by the farmer who lives on that property. Surely, these can't be Roman stones, buried under an old umbrella, a rusty tractor and a broken trash bin?
