Bath is famous for its Roman baths , a remnant of the 400-year Roman occupation that began in 43 A.D. The town is admittedly touristy but well worth a stop although you can take a day trip from London discount car rental phoenix fox easily, we stayed overnight and didn't regret it.

The Fashion Museum has been getting some attention lately for its new exhibit, the Diana Dresses . The collection has a few old-fashioned pieces from the princess's visits to Canada and New Zealand, plus some more modern dresses, like a black shift dress by Versace that Diana wore to a movie premiere in 1995. ( exhibit through Jan. 9, 2011 ).
The museum also picks a Dress of the Year , and there are now more than 50 pieces on view. When we visited, I tried guessing the year of each dress the styles discount car rental phoenix fox run the gamut from glittery '70s Disco to modern minis.

Also take them up on the free, informative-but-not-boring discount car rental phoenix fox audio tour (what is it about English discount car rental phoenix fox accents that make history more interesting?), with fun tidbits narrated discount car rental phoenix fox by Bill Bryson . If you're visiting in August, the baths are staying open until 10 p.m. to accommodate crowds.
