Take Thermae Day Spa, for example, where you can bathe in the same natural hot springs as the Romans did, while taking in the gorgeous city views.

Elsewhere, find Great Pulteney Bridge, the Museum of Bath and the colourful Southgate Umbrellas – as well as a plethora of stylish boutiques, quirky cafes and delightful restaurants (from beloved local pubs to Michelin-starred gastronomic experiences). Oh, and Bridgerton and Jane Austen fans will recognise the iconic façade of the Royal Crescent and The Circus which has served as the backdrop for plenty of regency films and Netflix series over the years.

The city of Bath is surrounded by some pretty fantastic Cotswolds scenery, too. With the very best landscapes, National Trust properties and stately homes that Somerset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire (and nearby Bristol) have to offer.
