Georgian Elegance
The Roman Baths
Attraction · Timed entry
Book the 9:00 entry — steam rises off the Great Bath in the morning cool and the torchlit corners are empty. The audio guide by Bill Bryson is genuinely good.
Bath Abbey & city stroll
Attraction · Tower tour
Climb the tower tour for the view over the Baths next door — you look straight down into the green water the Romans knew.
Bun at Sally Lunn’s
Lunch · Since 1482
The oldest house in Bath (1482) and its famous brioche bun — half savory with cinnamon butter, half sweet. The kitchen museum in the cellar is free.
Royal Crescent & The Circus
Landmark · Free
Thirty Grade-I Georgian houses in one golden arc — picnic on the lawn like a local. No. 1 Royal Crescent museum shows how they lived inside.
Thermae Bath Spa rooftop pool
Spa · Book ahead
Soak in the natural thermal water the Romans used — the open-air rooftop at dusk, steam against the abbey silhouette, is the trip’s best £40.
Getting around: 12 min walk up through The Circus
