Trip Advisor says, "A trip to Bath would not be complete without a visit to Sally Lunn's Historic Eating House. Accept no imitations, as no Bath bun compares to those served here. The Bath Cream Tea is still my favorite: Half a Sally Lunn's bun topped with homemade cinnamon butter and served with plenty of clotted cream. Oh, and house tea is included too. There are no words nor pictures that do it justice, you must try it for yourself!"

A historic and iconic landmark of Bath's history, revellers are taken six meters below street level to see sights such as the Sacred Spring and the Roman Temple. The baths are undoubtedly one of the city's most popular attractions, and lines build up very quickly. In short, the earlier you arrive, the better.

Sightseeing

Trip Advisor says, "It is impossible to visit Bath without encountering one of the city's grandest landmarks. A fine example of Gothic architecture, the Abbey is not merely a church, it also serves as a signpost back to the city centre, should you ever get lost. The interior of the Abbey is far more striking than the pictures suggest, and for those feeling particularly fit, the 212 stairs to the top of the Tower should hit the spot. Needless to say, the views of Bath from the Tower are well worth the sweat beads. The many benches dotted around the Abbey also provide ample opportunity for one of my favourite pastimes: people watching".

Trip Advisor says, "Hungry after all that shopping?! St Nicks Market is a must-visit in Bristol. The covered arcade is really atmospheric and houses some great independent food stalls and shops. The place in town to grab some lunch, bar none!"
The place is massive and the place to shop in the South West. It has pretty much got every high street shop you can think of and they are all huge! There is loads of parking as well.

Getting Around

This private company operates the ferry bus service that runs every day along the harbour. It is a really memorable way to explore the city, and they also offer tours further afield including along the Avon Gorge and under the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

V Cars run a good service out to the Chew Valley from the major towns locally. Costs of a taxi are around £25 but check before you travel. They have a useful app.
