Bath is so good-looking that the entire city is a World Heritage Site - not difficult to see why given its romantic Roman Baths, striking abbey and universally honey-hued, Bath Stone buildings. With some 5,000 buildings listed for their architectural merit, flower-filled streets, parks and gardens and a compactness that means that it is easy to see in a short space of time, it's little wonder that Bath is a popular destination for escorted coach tours.
Bath grew up around its thermal water springs that can still be seen today in the Roman Baths Museum and the nearby Cross-Bath. Tread the ancient stone pavements and see where the Romans frolicked at the Baths or browse around the city's museums and galleries. Head to the remarkable Royal Crescent and drop into Number One to see the house as it would have looked in the 18th century, or pay homage to Bath's most famous resident by visiting the Jane Austen Centre before sipping real leaf tea in its Regency themed tea room.
- Visit Bath during the summer months to take a magical and unforgettable tour of the serene Roman Baths by torchlight.
