This historic relic gives you a real insight into the reality of the Roman world, which kids find fascinating, too, and the importance the Romans gave to bathing, socialising and hygiene. If you like the idea of bathing in hot springs, you can experience it for yourself at Bath’s Thermae Bath Spa, the only place in Britain with naturally warm and mineral- rich water. They include different treatments and spa packages, even an outside bath area, which best resembles the Roman experience. Bath is incredibly walkable. If you ever want to experience a scenic walk around Bath, opt for the walk with a view. This 90-minute walk will guide you around its rich Georgian history, historic waterways, and beautiful gardens. And from one of the points of the trail, you’ll also see the entire city of Bath, getting a 360-degree view. The journey to this beautiful city wouldn’t be complete without trying a Bath bun or a Sally Lunn bun. There is quite a rivalry between the two, both stating they are the best sweet treat in Bath. So, try for yourself to decide which one is best. Make sure to have the former at the Bath Bun teahouse and the latter at Sally Lunn’s historic eating house.
