The Roman Baths4128×2322 1.18 MB
The Roman Baths Nestled among the city’s elegant Georgian buildings, you’ll find and one of the finest historic sites in Northern Europe. These incredibly well-preserved remains of one of the most important religious spas of the ancient world are a feat of Roman engineering – and are as beautiful as they are impressive.

Bath Abbey The Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, more commonly known as Bath Abbey, is a jaw-droppingly beautiful example of Perpendicular Gothic architecture. With its grand stained windows, columns of beautiful honey-coloured stone, impressive exterior and intricate fan vaulting, it’s no surprise this Grade I listed church is one of Bath’s most popular tourist attractions. Still very much an active church, services take place throughout the week, so make sure you check the website before you visit as opening times can vary.

Pulteney Bridge An instantly recognisable Bath landmark, Pulteney Bridge is a fantastic example of Palladian style. Built in 1774, to connect Bath and Bathwick across the River Avon, this Grade I listed building is most notable for having shops built across its full span, on both sides (in fact, it’s one of only four bridges in the world to be designed like this). Designed by architect Robert Adam, the bridge and the weir below are one of Bath’s most photographed scenes.

The Holburne Museum Located in Bath’s picturesque Sydney Pleasure Gardens, The Holburne Museum is housed in the former Sydney Hotel. Originally built between 1796 and 1799, this grand three-story building designed by Charles Harcourt Masters is another wonderful example of Georgian architecture. But what makes this place so interesting is the modern extension by Eric Parry Architects, costing £11.2 million. The extension is a contemporary combination of glass and ceramic ‘fins’ glazed in blue and green and was shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize for the building of the year in 2012.
