I dare you to drink the water

view map

Pump Room fountain

You can try the hot Spa water at the fountain in the Pump Room. It contains 43 minerals and has a rather unusual taste.
Spa water has been used for curative purposes for two thousand years.
Originally treatments involved bathing in the hot waters, then in the late 17th Century drinking spa water also came to be a recognized treatment for certain conditions.

This concludes my gallery of Bath, England.
It's time to move on to Castle Combe tomorrow! :)

Beautiful fountain. Love the little fish catching the water. I imagine mineral water was the antique version of supplements. V.
