Bath
As Jane Austen famously wrote in
Northanger Abbey Oh! Who can ever be tired of Bath?
Roman Baths & the city’s historic centre
In the winter, bundle up and explore the Roman Baths and the rest of
Bath’s historic centre: Georgian architecture, narrow streets, the river
- very atmospheric in winter. Combine that with a visit to Bath Abbey
- Gothic architecture, stained glass, and a peaceful but grand indoor
experience (especially welcome if weather’s chilly). A stroll over Pulteney
Bridge and along the river gives a lovely wintery riverside walk: shops,
cafés, nice photo-ops.
The Holburne Museum
Used as Lady Danbury’s House
in Bridgerton, The Holburne
is a fascinating museum.
