Lady’s Bath, England Travel Guide

Today I want to bring you my Bath, England travel guide. This stunning city in Somerset is one of the best places to visit in the UK.

Bath, England Travel

After three days of intrepid traveling, my complimentary Rabbie’s tour of southwest England was coming to an end.

I enjoyed visiting Stonehenge, Glastonbury, Durdle Door, Exeter, and Devon, but the last destination on the itinerary may well have been the best: Bath.

The famous city is one of the most beautiful places in the UK, and I couldn’t wait to explore. Packed with ancient Roman history and Jane Austen sites, it’s a dream.

Things to Do in Bath

Bath is best known for two things: the famous Roman Baths and the beautiful Georgian architecture. On my first trip to Bath, I explored the former. This time around my sightseeing focused on the latter.

Sally Lunn’s

When my tour group arrived in the city, we were let loose to explore Bath on our own for a few hours. One of the benefits of Rabbie’s tours is that they provide a nice mix of group transport and independent exploring.

After getting a quick lunch at Sally Lunn’s, where we sampled the famous brioche-like Sally Lunn buns, my fellow travelers and I parted ways to see the sights in Bath.

The Circus in Bath

In my case, that meant walking through the busy shopping streets to The Circus, a beautiful 18th-century ring of Georgian buildings.

Like most of the city’s architecture, they were made of the famous Bath stone, which glowed golden in the late afternoon sun.

Royal Crescent in Bath

The same went for the nearby Royal Crescent, a stunning half-moon of buildings opening onto a large park in Bath. Being there made me feel like I’d stepped into a Jane Austen novel.

Shopping in Bath

Having gotten my architecture fix, I focused the rest of my Bath travels on one of the other things the city is known for: shopping.

The Christmas market had already come to a close (strange, as it wasn’t even close to Christmas yet), but the stores and markets were buzzing.

From the usual high street shops to slender alleys full of art galleries and independent shops in Bath, the city was a retail heaven.

I explored everything from a historic covered market to the famous Pulteney Bridge, a Ponte Vecchio-like structure lined with cafes and stores on both sides.

Bath, England Travel and Beyond

When my time was up, I met my Rabbie’s tour group near Bath Abbey, the city’s most famous church. From there we traveled back to London on our mini-bus.

The two-hour trip went quickly, and soon I found myself at home, missing southwest England already. I had seen a lot of great places in three short days, but Bath may have been the best.
