Regina, I know your posts are well-researched and so I thought you might like to know that Bath is in the county of Somerset. I know our counties are confusing; many end in …shire while others don’t!
Of course, I know that fact. One of my good friends lives in Oxfordshire, and we have traveled throughout the area when we visit. Where was my brain the day I posted this article? LOL!!! This second round of edits has messed with my good sense. Thanks for catching the error.
This is really interesting, thank you! I must print a map of England!
I am reading a book from Cheryl Bolen, and it is set in Exmoor. I had to look it up on a UK map.
