in Bath
Overseas move. Done that. Prepared for an adventure. Always.
GuestHouse bingo. Completed. Meet Eliza...
From city to sea, Eliza has proudly discovered the charm of each GuestHouse property, capturing it all along the way too. It all started with a Summer escape to
Mediterranean-esque Margate with drinks on the Rooftop Bar, dinner at Pearly Cow Margate and a backdrop of glistening blue sea and golden sands. Fast forward
to now where she’s ticked off a cosy girls’ night staycation at No. 15 Bath, celebrated a very special anniversary at No. 1 York and experienced the new addition to the
collection - No. 124 Brighton. As part of her return to explore Bath, Eliza’s curated a handy guide for first-time visitors. Read on for recommendations from a passionate
photographer and adventure-seeker.
Day 1 - Historic Bath and Iconic Sights
Morning
1. Roman Baths
Start your visit with a glimpse into Bath’s intriguing Roman history at one
of the city’s most renowned and well-preserved sites. Step back in time and
discover archaeological finds from pre-Roman and Roman Britain, explore the
natural thermal springs and see the ruins of the Temple of Sulis Minerva.
2. Bath Abbey
Next to the Roman Baths is England’s last great Medieval Church. Admire its
stunning Gothic architecture, magnificent stained glass and climb the Abbey
Tower for a breathtaking view of Bath.
Afternoon
3. North Parade
Famous for its charming shops, Georgian architecture and the lovely North
Parade Bridge, take a scenic stroll before popping into Sally Lunn’s Historic
Eating House (one of Bath’s oldest buildings!) for a traditional Sally Lunn bun.
4. Royal Crescent & The Circus
Head to the Royal Crescent to see one of Bath’s most esteemed landmarks, a
sweeping crescent of 30 terraced houses. Located nearby is The Circus, a ring
of townhouses with three entrances. Georgian architecture is iconic to Bath’s
landscape and both are grand examples - not to be missed!
5. The Jane Austen Centre
Dedicated to the influential author who spent several years living in Bath,
the museum offers fascinating insights into her time in the city and how it
influenced her novels. This year marks her 250th birthday so there’s no better
time to visit than this special anniversary.
