Bath Attractions

Bath prides itself on its many iconic attractions, such as the Royal Crescent, The Circus, Pulteney Bridge and the Abbey. The city’s many museums and art galleries provide a rich and fascinating insight into fashion through the ages, 19th-century astronomer William Herschel, Bath’s industrial heritage and the life of Bath’s most famous literary resident at the Jane Austen Centre.

It is a lovely and varied city that offers something for everyone.
Why not treat yourself to a Spa session in the natural thermal waters at Thermae Bath Spa or learn about the history underlying the city’s Spa culture by visiting the 2,000-year-old Roman Baths?

Bath and its environs also offer much in the way of enjoyment for families and children – the Egg Theatre, for example, or, if you are feeling a little more adventurous, Longleat and Stonehenge.

Eating Out

Traditionally a city of genteel Georgian tearooms, Bath and the surrounding areas have a lively dining scene with many different eating establishments that can cater for all tastes and budgets.

You can enjoy everything from a Michelin starred fine dining experience to a proper pub serving traditional hearty fare or Vegetarian eats, craft beer and plenty of other creative establishments.

In short, Bath is a foodie heaven, with plenty of independent restaurants and delis, a local farmer’s market and a strong emphasis on locally sourced produce.

Bath Shopping

When it comes to shopping in Bath, you really are spoilt for choice. As well as the major designer brands and high street stores, Bath is particularly proud of its’ vast array of independent and individual shops that you won’t find anywhere else.
