Bath

Another City that is overflowing with history and charm. Known for their Roman built baths, so you should spend a day at the Thermae Bath Spa offering the same natural hot spring water. Head up to the roof for 360 views of the city as well as indulge in some spa treatments.

The place Bridgerton is filmed, scenes from Les Misérables an episode of Sherlock and more, see if you can spot the locations.

Climb 212 steps to the top of the Abbey Tower for a view of the city and explore the heritage centre.

Bath can offer a city feels with the country side not so far away, with the cobbled streets and small tea shops as well as lots of restaurants and bars you can get the best of both worlds.
