Bath

Bath is the largest city in the county of Somerset, England. Known for and named after its ancient Roman-built baths, this charming city is in the valley of the River Avon, which runs through its town centre.

Built for pleasure and relaxation, the beautiful Bath has been a wellbeing destination since Roman times. The waters are still a big draw, both at the ancient Roman Baths and the thoroughly modern Thermae Bath Spa, which houses the only natural thermal hot springs in Britain you can bathe in.

Bath’s old-world centre is overflowing with places to eat and drink, some of the finest independent shops in Britain, as well as much history and tradition. Immerse yourself in Bath’s remarkable collection of museums and galleries, and enjoy year-round festivals, theatre, music and sports.

Bath's stunning honey-coloured Georgian architecture is straight from a Jane Austen novel – highlights include the iconic Royal Crescent and the majestic Circus. There’s plenty to see beyond the city, too, with stunning Somerset countryside to explore, as well as attractions like Stonehenge, Avebury and Longleat Safari Park.
