Bath

You will spend around 2.5 hours in Bath, time for a panoramic tour and some lunch from a wide choice of outlets in the centre of Bath. You might wish to try the Pump Room Restaurant, at the Roman Baths, where you can try the famous hot spa water for yourself.

Bath is a beautiful Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces and architecture. Following our guided tour of the city, there will be time to explore at your leisure. The most popular single attraction are the Roman Baths that were built nearly 2,000 years ago, on the site of Britain's only natural warm spring. Well worth visiting; the ticket for this is not included in the price, but you could purchase separately on entering.

Alternatively you could choose simply to soak up the sights such as Bath Abbey with its magnificent early Gothic architecture and the famous Pulteney Bridge - one of only four in the world with shops -running over the river Avon as it cascades over the weir. There is also the Assembly Rooms, one of Bath's finest Georgian buildings, and the Jane Austen Centre, a must see for Austen lovers.
