Set in the rolling hills of Somerset, Bath is a city of symmetry, golden stone, and enduring spa culture. Its Georgian terraces and townhouses glow in the afternoon light, giving the city an elegant, almost theatrical charm.
Bath’s story stretches from Roman Britain to its 18th-century rise as England’s most fashionable spa destination. Today, literary heritage, architectural harmony, and contemporary creativity blend seamlessly.
Independent boutiques sit beside historic tea rooms, thermal waters steam beneath open skies, and culture hums quietly through its cobbled streets.
No visit is complete without stepping into the remarkably preserved Roman Baths, where ancient columns and reflective pools evoke the city’s sacred spa origins. Nearby, Bath Abbey rises in golden Gothic splendour, while the sweeping curve of the Royal Crescent showcases Bath’s most iconic Georgian architecture.
Literary enthusiasts can follow in the footsteps of Jane Austen, and modern-day spa seekers can soak in rooftop thermal waters at Thermae Bath Spa.
Beyond the landmarks, linger in independent cafés, browse antique shops, or stroll along the Kennet & Avon Canal for a slower glimpse of local life.
Bath enjoys a temperate maritime climate, with mild summers and cool winters. From June to August, average daytime temperatures range between 18–23°C, making it an ideal time for open-air exploring and countryside walks.
Spring and early autumn are particularly charming, with temperatures typically between 10–18°C and fewer crowds enhancing the city’s peaceful elegance. Winters are cooler, generally 2–8°C, but the golden stone takes on a cosy glow, and festive markets lend the city a distinctly magical air.
