OUR VIEW ON BATH ABBEY
The Abbey tower dominates Bath and you can see it from all around, but the inside of the Abbey is well worth a visit too. The current Abbey was founded in 1499 and it oozes history despite still being used as a modern place of worship today. You can also climb to the top of the tower for a tremendous view of Bath below on the fully guided “Tower Tours”.
