The Cerne Abbas Giant

Next time in England, it would be fun to visit some of the ancient geoglyphs etched into chalk in the hills there.

The Cerne Abbas Giant, for one, is 180 feet tall and has a 26-foot-long, uh, thing. People visit it for fertility. πŸ€”

And there are plenty of others with odd stories. Always a good excuse to get out to some otherwise random English countryside.

Manchester Victoria Baths

This place hits two of my personal sweet spots: swimming and amazing architecture. 🀩

πŸ‘‰ Victoria Baths: Manchester’s Water Palace

If I ever get to Manchester, and this place is actually open, I know where I’m going to get my exercise. In fact, I’d love to do a swimming pool / lido / bath / spa tour of the UK. Who’s down?
