Attractions

Bath Abbey

Bath Abbey stands at the heart of the city of Bath; Begun in 1499, Bath Abbey is the last of the great medieval churches of England. The West Front is unique. It depicts the dream that inspired the Abbey's founder, Bishop Oliver King, to pull down the ruined Norman cathedral and raise the present building on its foundations.

Museum Of Costume

The Assembly Rooms is one of Bath’s finest Georgian buildings and houses the Museum of Costume. The internationally renowned collection of fashionable dress is well worth a visit. The Museum is host to special collections like the display of ballet costumes and personal clothes which belonged to the world-famous ballet star Rudolf Nureyev, or enjoy the new 'Corsets Uncovered' display and dressing up opportunity.

No.1 The Royal Crescent

The Royal Crescent was built to the designs of John Wood the Younger between 1767 and 1774 and is justly considered one of the finest achievements of urban 18th century architecture and represents the highest point of Palladian architecture in Bath. Visitors can now see this grand town house redecorated and furnished to show how it might have appeared in the late 18th century.

Roman Baths

The Roman Baths and Pump Room site at Bath is one of Britain’s best known, most spectacular and most frequently visited ancient monuments. The state of preservation of the ancient monument is exceptional. The Roman Baths and Temple complex entirely surrounds the largest of the three hot springs at Bath. In Roman times these sources of hot water were something for which there was no natural explanation, so they were considered to be the work of the Gods.

Stonehenge

The great and ancient stone circle of Stonehenge is one of the wonders of the world. It is probably the most important prehistoric monument in the whole of Britain and has attracted visitors from earliest times. It stands as a timeless monument to the people who built it. The Stonehenge that we see today is the final stage that was completed about 3500 years ago.

Theatre Royal

This lavish auditorium opened in 1805 and designed by George Dance the younger, was fully restored in 1982, and is now one of the country's oldest and most beautiful theatres located right in the heart of the Georgian City of Bath.
