Shelley’s Guide to Attractions
Attraction
You can’t take a dip at the Roman Baths these days, but you can still enjoy the same natural hot spring water at Thermae Bath Spa. This one-of-a-kind complex brings the spa into the twenty-first century, with lovely treatments, relaxation spaces and a spectacular rooftop pool offering 360-degree views of the city.
There are often offers to be had online. I would recommend booking ahead to void disappointment and long queues.

My favourite thing to do but not for the feint hearted. Take the Bath Abbey Tower Tour to see the different, working side of this iconic landmark. Ascend 212 steps to the top, and you will climb past the ringing chamber to the bell chamber, to have the chance to stand above the Abbey’s vaulted ceiling and sit behind the clock face. Once you reach the roof, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views over the city and surrounding countryside.

It offers a chance to step into the dark world of the author Mary Shelley, uncover the tragic events behind her life, and come face-to-face with one of popular culture’s most enduring iconic creations.

The canal passes through Bath in Widcombe and Bathwick. If you walk to The Holburne Museum you will find the canal running through Sidney Gardens, behind the museum. Several bridges carry Georgian houses directly over the canal. It’s a beautiful spot and I would recommend walking along through Widcombe and then tracing the river back to Pulteney Bridge.

In one corner, the Bath Bun, a sweet roll sprinkled with fruit and crushed sugar. In the other, the Sally Lunn bun, a light brioche-like creation only made at Sally Lunn’s house here in Bath.
