OUR VIEW ON THE ROMAN BATHS IN BATH

They’re much bigger on the inside than you’d think. What looks like an un-assuming historic building from the outside, opens up into a labyrinth of pools and rooms spreading far beneath the surrounding streets. We thought it was fantastic and although you can’t bathe in the water here, you get a real sense of what the place was actually like in Roman times. The story of how the baths were discovered again after being partially destroyed and built upon is also fascinating. The Roman Baths are in the courtyard next to Bath Abbey. Admission ranges from £7 up to £11.50 per person.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE ROMAN BATHS IN BATH

Special packages are available to combine your visit to the Roman Baths with a visit to the Thermae Bath Spa and the Pump Room. See the links below. Bear in mind that prices for the Roman Baths go up in peak season (July & August). Admission to the Roman Baths includes the use of a free audioguide. We found this really useful in working out what things actually were. We recommend you allow at least 2 hours for your visit to the Roman Baths
