The golden city of Bath has been welcoming visitors for over 2,000 years. Designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, the city presents some of the finest architectural sights in Europe, such as the Roman Baths & Pump Room, the Royal Crescent, Pulteney Bridge and the Circus.
The surrounding seven hills, the River Avon running through the heart of the City and the towers of the Abbey combine to create a wonderful first impression. Moreover, the city takes a real pride in sharing its secrets and unique heritage, which can be explored in a variety of 40 or so museums, galleries, gardens and attractions. Yet it is very much alive and offers an intriguing mix of theatre, festivals, good restaurants, sporting excellence and quality shopping. The city and the surrounding region is framed between two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Cotswolds and the Mendips. Whether you enjoy walking, cycling, boating, fishing or simply searching out that perfect country pub, you will be pleasantly surprised by the lakes, villages and valleys of North East Somerset. With so much to see and so much to do, we may even tempt you to stay a little longer and enjoy some traditional West Country hospitality!
Visitors from all over the world come to this unique World Heritage Site and the surrounding countryside. The city developed around the site of ancient thermal springs, which are now part of one of the UK's top five attractions. The Roman Baths are special, but by no means alone, in being one of many high quality visitor attractions that will keep you interested from the moment you arrive here. The city and its surrounding area has such a rich array of attractions that you may be tempted to stay a while to visit them all. Throughout the region you will find exhibitions, museums and galleries offering a diverse range of fascinating and unusual specialist collections. From the uniquely historic to the utterly modern, there is something for everyone, and if you're here with children, you will also find plenty of exciting things to see and do here!
The city is full of museums covering every possible subject related to the city and its surroundings. Many of them explore the local history or are connected to famous people who lived in the city, and are often housed in unique historical buildings.
If you're interested in the history of the city, or even its very foundations, then head up to the Building of Bath Museum, located in the Countess of Huntingdon's Chapel on the Paragon. There's also the Museum of Bath at Work, which gives a unique insight into the businesses, which literally powered the growing city. The story and social history of the miners of the North Somerset Coalfield, which provided the fuel for much of the area is told in the Radstock Museum, housed in the restored Market Hall in Radstock, 10 miles south of the city.
To step further back in time, you can follow in the footsteps of the Romans at the Roman Baths Museum in the heart of the City, where you can discover how the city came into being. You can even taste the famous waters in the Pump Room.
