Bath and its Roman Baths

City of Bath

If you choose not to visit the Roman Baths then you are free to visit Bath at your leisure. Explore the gorgeous 15th century Bath Abbey, see the stunning Georgian architecture, and the romantic Pulteney Bridge, modelled on Florence’s Ponte Vecchio, all sights that will linger on in the memory.

Pulteney Bridge

 

One of the benefits of a Bath visit is that all the attractions are very close together and much of the city centre is pedestrianised, so it is easy and quick to get around on foot.

For the visitor the main attractions date from when Bath was an important city in England and was part of the Roman Empire. The second period of interest is much later, when Bath was a fashionable spa town.

 

Bath narrow street with shops and cafe

 

Additionally, Bath has lots of attractions including the Jane Austen CentreBath Abbey, a spectacular late medieval perpendicular Gothic church, interesting and individual shops and cafes, Pulteney Weir and stunning Georgian architecture.

Many people discover that they enjoy Bath so much that they wish to return!

Visit our Things to do in Bath page for more information.

 

Roman Baths

Around Britain’s only hot spring, the Romans built a magnificent temple and bathing complex that still flows with natural hot water. You will see the water’s source and walk where Romans walked on the ancient stone pavements and of course see the baths themselves.

The Baths are conveniently located in the town centre, close to Bath Abbey and the shops.

Stonehenge

Stonehenge with the sun setting

 

This ancient Neolithic site, over 5,000 years’ old offers a fascinating glimpse into our ancestors’ past. The ring of stones still poses many archaeological and historical questions for academics and visitors alike.

You will get to see the long path, with raised banks and ditches, known as the ‘avenue’; a processional route stretching about three miles or two kilometres, marking the the entrance to Stonehenge. From this point you can learn about how our ancestors understood the turning of the year, and the importance of aligning with the sun.

The visitor centre, a mile from the stones themselves, is well worth finding time to see. It displays nearly 250 archaeological treasures, which were used or buried at Stonehenge as well a regularly changing programme of special exhibitions.

In addition, reconstructed Neolithic houses outside the visitor centre, provide living history with regular demonstrations of ancient domestic skills such as flint knapping, and rope making.

A comprehensive audio tour is available to download in advance (English version only), by searching for the ‘Stonehenge Audio Tour’ in your App store. The app will explain in detail each part of the stones at Stonehenge to fully bring to life the magnificent megalith in front of you.
