Day trip to Bath from London- Bank holiday weekend

Details

Repeat trip due to large demand. As you might expect from a place called Bath, this city is famous for its water. Its naturally hot spring water made it a favourite with the Romans, who built, of course, some baths. It’s also the backdrop to some of Jane Austen’s famous novels. Put all that together, and you’ve got a World Heritage Site.

Ready to explore? Here’s what we will discover in Bath for a day.

These Roman baths have been one of the most visited places in Britain for more than 2,000 years. Go to see the Great Bath, the Roman Temple, and to taste the mineral-packed spa water which comes out of a special water fountain.The Beau street Hoard is also worth seeing. That’s the 17, 577 Roman coins that were found under the new Gainsborough Hotel in 2007.

Bath is probably most famous for its Georgian crescents. You might recognise the Royal Crescent from period dramas, but even if you’re not a fan of those, you’ll probably like the views of Royal Victoria Park. Known as the best address in Bath, No 1 Royal Crescent was opened as museum in 2013.
