Liverpool

Anther important and famous town is Liverpool. It is the source of many cultural happenings, the birth of the Beatles for example. The Beatles were the first pop band in the world, and started what can be called an revolution in music. Liverpool is also known for its football team, Liverpool FC. I don't know that much about the team, but I think it's successful.

Bath
Bath is one of the old Roman cities of Britain, just as London. It was created as an resort for the Rich roman families, focusing it's attractions on public baths and swimming pools. That is also why the city is called Bath. The town is a little bigger than the Swedish town Umeå, but it contains not only one university, but two.
