Mapping Out Bath (Part Two)

I decided my image map of Bath would be much improved if I marked which areas had an image linked.
Black stars mark areas of tourist interest, such as the Roman Baths or Victoria Art Gallery.
Red stars mark places I frequent in my day to day life, like my house, the street I take to go to swing dance or the movie theater.
Green stars mark places with nice scenery, generally parks or gardens.
Blue stars mark the site of clubs and pubs.
Arrows indicate a site that is technically off the map.

Mapping Out Bath (Part One)

After a month in Bath, I feel like I live here.
...At least in the parts of town I frequent. Once I head north of the Abbey, things get a tad more shaky. Getting my bearings has definitely been a challenge, but fortunately this gives me an excuse to make awesome image maps so I can make the connection between the places I go and where they are relative to one another.

This is only a rough draft. I'm using pictures of popular tourist destinations and my house to warm up my image mapping muscles. I haven't included my workplace, Nelson House or many of the other areas I frequent. I'll add more and more items as I get good pictures. But this will do for now.

Hover over an area of the map to see a photo. This map includes photos for Bath Abbey, the Roman Baths, Sally Lunn's, Thermae Bath Spa, the Little Theatre and 5 Clarendon Villas, where I live. My house is actually farther south of the train station than the map shows, so I've linked that picture at the map edge where a box indicates the direction to Widcombe.
