2. Roman Baths
Without doubt the main attraction when visiting Bath is the Roman Baths. You can visit the heart of this World Heritage Site and the only hot spring in Britain, the place where the Romans built a magnificent temple and bathing complex that still flows with natural hot water. You can walk from the waters source and around the ancient stone pavements around the pool.

3. Bath Abbey
Founded in 1499, Bath Abbey is the last of the great medieval churches in England. The West Front is unique as it depicts the dream that inspired the Abbey’s founder, Bishop Oliver King, to pull down the ruined Norman cathedral and raise the present building on its foundations. Guided tours can are carried out and you can climb the 212 steps of the tower for a panoramic and unrivalled view of the city.

4. Artisan Quarter
The Artisan Quarter is filled with a vibrant selection of independent craft and curio shops; from reclaimed antiques and furniture to clothes, pottery and bicycles. It is a real creative melting pot where you can't help being inspired. Hunt for collectables in the treasure trove of independent shops on Walcot Street and London Street or look for a bargain at the flea market, held every Saturday.

6. Afternoon Tea at the Royal Crescent Hotel
The Royal Crescent is one of the world's best known landmarks. Built between 1767 and 1775 and designed by John Wood the younger, the crescent contains some 30 houses, one of which is now the Royal Crescent Hotel, another is Number 1 and open to the public.
Enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea alfresco in the beautiful gardens of the Royal Crescent Hotel. Served between 3pm - 5pm daily, guests can enjoy delicious sandwiches, homemade scones with jam and clotted cream, cakes, Bath buns, pastries and a choice of different teas.

7. Circus
A short walk from the Royal Crescent is the Circus. The Circus was the masterpiece of John Wood the Elder. The striking architecture has spawned numerous theories to explain its stark originality. Viewed from the air it forms the shape of a key, perhaps a Masonic symbol? John Wood is also thought to have taken inspiration from the ancient standing stones of nearby Stanton Drew and from Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. Either way, the Circus is a stupendous creative accomplishment and one of the key reasons Bath was awarded the title of World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
