Bath

Bath is regarded as one of the loveliest cities in the world and was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987. For centuries, it has been welcoming visitors attracted to its famous hot water mineral springs, Roman Baths, 15th century Abbey and elegant Georgian architecture.

Visitors to Bath are always very impressed by the beauty of the city, with its honey-coloured terraces and crescents, surrounded by green hills. You will love the vibrant atmosphere of the city centre, with its wealth of restaurants, bars, pubs, clubs and stylish shops. Being a university town, there are many cultural activities and a lively night life.

Bath English Homestay is well-situated for visiting the main attractions of the city, all of which can easily be reached on foot. The Circus and Assembly Rooms are only a 15 minute walk away and you can reach the city centre, the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey and the Royal Crescent in just 20 minutes. While staying in Bath you can treat yourself to a session at the modern Thermae Bath Spa, where you can bathe in the luxuriously warm, natural spa waters and enjoy a view of the Abbey and rooftops. If you like peace and quiet, Bath has some beautiful parks or you can take a boat ride along the river Avon into gorgeous countryside. Bath is only 160 kilometres west of London (1 hour 30 minutes by train or 2 hours by car) and is well positioned for visiting other cities and sites of cultural interest, such as Oxford, Wells and Stonehenge.
