Itinerary

1. The Roman Baths
The beautiful city of Bath has been a destination since Roman times. ‘Aquae Sulis’, which is the city’s original name, is thought to have been occupied from around 43AD. The Roman Baths is designated as both a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Monument.
2. Bath Abbey
Many people view Bath Abbey as being the centre of the city. The Abbey is one of the most visited attractions in the Southwest.
3. The journey from the Abbey Courtyard to York Street takes you through Kingston Parade, which in reality is more of a square than a promenade as its name suggests. This is a popular place for people to gather and relax, with magnificent views of the cathedral and Roman Baths.
Duration: 10 mins
4. Sally Lunn's Museum
North Parade Passage, formerly known as Old Lilliput Lane, is one of the few examples of pre-Georgian architecture in Bath. Most of the timber-framed houses have been rebuilt over the centuries, but Sally Lunn’s (number 4 North Parade Passage) still has its timber-framework.
Duration: 10 mins
