When in Bath

Standing in the city centre in all its ancient glory, take a plunge into the past and see for yourself ancient Roman remains frozen in time. The Roman Baths stream 1,170,000 litres of naturally warm spring water reaching 46C into the site every day. The ruins are an interactive museum where you can walk around and learn about the history of the site and even take a sip of the spa water that drew so many visitors over the centuries due to its curative properties.

If you fancy getting in on the action, Therma Bath Spa is where you can experience the naturally warm and mineral-rich waters in a more modern setting along with contemporary treatments, if desired.

Once refreshed, sampling the local specialities is a must, especially the Sally Lunn Bun, named after a Huguenot refugee who arrived in 1680. Sally started to work with a baker, introducing them to her brioche-style bun which became popular at breakfasts and afternoon teas with the recipe being a closely guarded secret to this day. You can sample the buns as well as a lot of other tasty foods, at Sally Lunn’s Historic Eating House and Museum.
