A world heritage site brimming with things to see and do.

The Paragon was built at the height of Bath’s previous Georgian heyday when the city was the pleasure resort for the rich and fashionable. Some of the finest architectural sights in Europe are on the doorstep including the stunning Pulteney Bridge.

Bath’s natural hot springs make it unique in England and no trip would be complete with a visit to the Roman Baths, bathing at the new Thermae Bath Spa, marvelling at this historic Bath Abbey or afternoon tea at the splendid Pump Rooms.

A City for all seasons – rich in festivals, arts, events, sport, restaurants and shopping!

Bath is a city of festivals and the arts and with such a compact city centre everything is within just a short walk of Abbey Mews Georgian Townhouse. From highbrow to eyebrow raising, from family fun to adult comedy, there’s something for all tastes.

The year-long programme of festivals and events in Bath includes everything from Shakespeare to Jane Austen and guitars to boules!

Bath is also home to the venerable Bath Rugby with the Rec only a five minute walk away.
