"Lovely Bath, England" Bath by londonlover

Bath Travel Guide: 910 reviews and 1,998 photos

Bathed in history...



I had just about 24 hours in Bath, but I could easily have spent five times as long exploring this beautiful city.

I had expected to like Bath, but I found it even more enjoyable than I had anticipated...besides the obvious Roman baths, there is a fantastic costume museum, lovely Georgian architecture, beautiful vistas, fantastic shopping, and about a hundred great places to eat.

And for Jane Austen fans, Bath is a literary mecca...littered with landmarks mentioned in her books (especially Persuasion ), such as the Pump Room, the Assembly Rooms, and even Westgate Buildings. :)

A very livable city...there are few places I've visited about which I can enthusiastically say, "I could live here!" Bath is one of them.

  • Cons:None that I could find!

    Nice page! Good tips on your lovely B&B and Tilley's. Have been to Bath twice, only for a few hours each and have never even made it into the Pump Room!!

    Agree with you about Cadbury's...we used to drop in whenever we went shopping.

    Good work Tara! Your Bath page is excellent, Tilley's is also one of my favourites, and I lived in Bath for 14 years! You managed to cram loads into such a short time.

    Glad you had a great time here! Hope that walk up the hill wasn't too challenging... :)

    Another place I saw for a couple of hours during a daytrip on my 1st trip to London...your pictures bring the brief pleasant memories back, and tell me once more that I must return here soon...for 24hrs times a few, right?! ;-))
