This is a detail from the Palladian Bridge in Prior Park, south of Bath, UK. It is one of the few remaining such bridges in the world. #details
Lovely place for a gentle walk punctuated by the smell of wild garlic: its worth noting that there is no on site parking and no roadside parking near the entrance . Although designed to feel natural its only the bridge and reflecting lakes that are photogenic

University of Bath
The Lakeside walk in the Newton Park campus of Bath Spa University is my favourite place to go between lectures. The natural beauty of this campus is one of the reasons I chose to apply to this university. I still find it crazy how quickly I can feel immersed in the great outdoors, whilst still being close to the university buildings. Filled with swans, ducks, herons and a 15th century tower across the lake, there is plenty to sit back and appreciate. #Trovember Photo Contest
