Steaming hot bath

Hop onto a train or drive through the lush London countryside to reach the invigorating city of Bath. Set at a distance of 120 miles from west of London, Bath, a World Heritage City in 1987, was predominantly a Roman city with the original Roman baths and remains. The city is built at the mouth of an extinct volcano and is surrounded by seven wooded hills and is nurtured by the crystal waters of Britain’s natural hot springs. Bath offers rich diversity of museums, galleries, gardens and Roman baths, much to the explorer’s delight! Once in Bath, one can marvel at the impeccable architecture of The Bath Abbey – the last of the great medieval churches of England. The Royal Crescent displays an array of houses and is one of the architectural delights that the city has to offer. And, while a romantic walk on the Pulteney Bridge shouldn’t be missed, the natives recommend that the bridge is best viewed from Parade Gardens park by the crescent weir.

After a day of exploration, one should be forgiven for giving in to an alluring massage offered by the many spas that dot every nook and corner of the city. Travellers to Bath should definitely make the most of tours like boat cruises, MP3 audio walking tours and bus tours that are organised in the city. But one shouldn’t forget to pack in a pair of sneakers as Bath is a city best explored on foot! Interestingly, the main attractions of Bath are all packed close to each other; lest the walking drains you out, there are spas aplenty!

For those who fancy a royal treatment, an ideal day’s itinerary should include a visit to the magnificent Roman Baths Temple followed by a lavish lunch spread at the Pump Room and a refreshing spa break at Thermae Bath to end the day.

Those who like to live it up at night, Bath has a plethora of options to choose from. Theatres showcase performances catering to all age groups and tastes, and for the movie buffs, there is The Little Theatre Cinema. All for a little amusement, there is the Bizarre Bath, a night tour of the city, which is sure to tickle your funny bone. There’s no dearth of watering holes either, and many pubs and bars play all forms of music, from electronica to Irish folk…
