Bath Abbey

Bath Abbey is a stunning Gothic church located in the heart of the city of Bath, England. Founded in the 7th century and rebuilt in the 16th century, it is renowned for its fan-vaulted ceiling, large stained-glass windows, and historic monuments. The abbey stands on the site of ancient Roman baths and remains an important place of worship and heritage.

We attended the Bath Abbey Tower Tour and had a wonderful time! Lots of steps, you go right to the top of the Abbey (which is quite high from the ground). Incredible views of the city and such an informative tour with Toby & Jamen. Thanks again!

Absolutely stunning building. Staff welcoming and friendly. Worth dropping in. Entrance fee reasonable and you could spend quite a few hours here if you keen to read all the historic information,that is literally on every single wall. The Abbey is also divided into various sections with prayer rooms with seating,candles etc. I was quite impressed by how many things are laid out inside. I would also like to say that the building is heated too, so on the day we visited (which was very ❄️ ❄️ cold) we were not walking round shivering, which made the few hours spend in this amazing building very pleasant.

Bath Abbey stole the show for me - those vibrant stained glass windows were GLOBALLY 🔥! And the story about how they cleverly hid the high-speed train tracks during the London blitz (to protect the view 😎) was a fun fact 🕵️‍♀️. History and beauty in one stunning spot ✨. If you're in Bath, def go check it out!

A stunning Gothic building right in the heart of Bath. The abbey was founded here in the 7th century - in 675! The church was rebuilt several times, most recently in the 16th century. It is truly astonishing. When I see such dates and then look at this magnificent building in impeccable condition (pardon my superlatives), I can't help but adore that... Another reason this place attracts many tourists is that it was here that King Edgar of England was crowned. He wasn't the first king, but his coronation ceremony was thoroughly documented and set the precedent for all subsequent coronations - including those of Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III. So this site is a remarkable blend of religious and secular historical significance, which is quite rare for a non‑capital city. Unfortunately, we didn't get inside, but we did walk around the abbey. Our guide planned the route perfectly: we first saw The Pulteney Bridge and then walked to the abbey - it's just a five‑minute stroll. In front of the abbey lies a wide street that will lead you to the Roman Baths, while to the left is a small square where musicians perform. A breathtaking church with an incredibly rich history. If you're in Bath, you should at least approach it and walk around; if possible, go inside.

Bath Abbey is an amazing place! The majestic architecture, beautiful stained glass, and incredible atmosphere are truly inspiring. The interior is richly decorated, and there is a gift shop as well as the opportunity to light candles. The tour provides lots of interesting insights into the Abbey's history. I highly recommend visiting to enjoy the beauty and serenity of this historic site.

I had a great Tower tour experience with the Irish and English guides! It was so fun ringing the bells and learning about the normally hidden parts of this historic building. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our visit to Bath Abbey, but the highlight was the Tower Climb Tour, held by two highly professional guides who provided plenty of very interesting information and always made sure everyone was following the way. The climb up the tower wasn't that hard,since it was split into stages. The views from above are outstanding (you get a pretty clear view of The Roman Baths too).

The Bath Abbey is still an active church that is still quite popular with many people and they also do online services. I have heard of this place a long time ago and have been here three times on different occasions and I always feel like there is so much history and also calmness here. The area is beautiful and the building is a wonder.

Officially, they call it the Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. You can find exquisite columns of honey-gold stone, striking stained-glass windows, and incredible fan vaulting ceilings. Located just next to the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey is hard to miss when you are wandering around the beautiful city centre. The history of this sacred place stretches as far back as Anglo-Saxon times, and it is still a working church. Bath Abbey allows visitors to book the Tower Tour and climb all 212 steps of its tower to see the clock face, the bells, and the fan-vaulted ceiling from the other side. There's so much history. With Bath Abbey starting out in Saxon times, being built as a Norman cathedral, was dissolved by Henry VIII, before being rebuilt again later as an Abbey. The Abbey is centrally located in the town, facing the Pump Rooms across a wide-flagged square. There is another square to one side of the Abbey, which is a pleasant place to sit and listen to the buskers and performers who perform there every day. Roman bath- cute souvenir shops, tearooms, and shopping center- everything is nearby

This is very pretty. It's not as impressive as Westminster or anything, but it's spectacular architecture, not overrun with people (or wasnt the day I was there). They were working very hard to maintain it, which i appreciated. They do have two different admissions. One with a tower tour. It sounded cool but i couldn't make it work in my schedule. It was hourly on either the hour or half hour, i cant recall which. One of the employees was sure to point out an American connection when he realized i was American. I appreciated his effort to make a relevant connection. There were a lot of beautiful nooks and some unique designs that I enjoyed seeing. Altogether a good use of time. I probably spent less than an hour here, but theres a museum on the lower floor that i could have spent a lot more time in. If you toured the tower and really pored over the material, it could be a 3 hour visit.

OMG... Bath, England--where history, architecture, and a good soak in the past come together! My day visit to this UNESCO World Heritage city felt like stepping into a Jane Austen novel, but with Wi-Fi. First, a bit of history (don't worry, it's the fun kind): Bath dates back to the Romans, who thought, "Why not build a spa town around these thermal springs?" And they did. The original Roman Baths are still there, and though I resisted the urge to take a plunge myself, the sheer scale of the ancient complex is awe-inspiring. Speaking of awe, Bath Abbey stands tall and proud, a Gothic masterpiece that's been around since 1499. It's hard not to be impressed by the intricate stonework and stunning stained glass windows. If walls could talk, these would probably whisper tales of coronations, burials, and maybe the occasional town gossip. But Bath isn't just living in the past--today it's a vibrant city filled with quaint shops, lovely Georgian architecture, and cafes that call your name like an irresistible British accent. Whether you're here for the history, the culture, or just to walk around and pretend you're in a BBC period drama, Bath delivers a wonderful experience. And if you ever fancy a dip in modern-day luxury, just like the old Romans, the Thermae Bath Spa is ready and waiting. Cheers to a perfect day in one of England's finest gems!

This is the first church I have been asked to pay an admission. And the only Catholic Church where Christ is not on a cross anywhere. There are over 1500 parishioners buried here some with the story of their life. Many quite inspiring and mention their dispositions and good manners. There is a small museum in the basement and a small shop on exit. There is a free walking tour in the afternoon. A different type of experience.

This is another stunning church with incredible history and architecture! I spent a lot of time here taking it all in and meditating in the beautiful setting. It was amazing to see all the obituaries for people from hundreds of years ago and reading their stories. I also loved that they have a spot where you can write a prayer and leave it there.

We entered on 2 Oct around 1 PM. We paid and entered and were originally ecstatic that a service was going on. But, I quickly realized that the service masquerading as a Christian service was a pagan celebration of Gaia. As a Christian that holds the Bible as from the ultimate authority, the sermon discussing economies, favoring Marxism over Capitalism (definitely not found in Scripture), and with a display specifically celebrating the pagan god Gaia as we entered (they had a large billboard highlighting Gaia as you entered and had a massive globe 40 foot in the center of the church) were really distracting. The pagan celebration really ruined the experience of visiting the church. If you are a devout Christian, you may experience non-Christian areligious teaching by people wearing collars (clergy). Beware. I'm sure there is great architecture, but the large globe celebrating Gaia was blocking much of it.

Bath Abbey is one of the great examples of English Perpendicular Gothic, notable for, among other things, its elaborate fan vaulting for the ceiling. It is very interesting and the fan vaulting here is definitely worth the visit. The abbey is free but one may also pay to take a guided tour of the roof and tower. This is fascinating, the tour guide interesting and friendly. It includes time inside the roof, as well as on top, in the clock area, and on top of the tower. When we went, they did not allow advance booking, so it was first-come, first-serve. We went right away in the morning and booked the first tour which was to start not long after. Before we left, we heard them telling people arriving that the tours were already booked up for the whole day. The abbey was founded in the 7th century but the current building dates mostly from the 16th century with some 19th century additions in the same style. The abbey is also notable for being (in is prior structure) where King Edgar was crowned King of the English in 973, an event commemorated in a stained glass window.

Bath Abbey is a beautiful gothic church founded in the 7th century. This has been a place of worship for well over 1000 years. It is "a moment of stillness in the beating heart of a vibrant city" they say, which I think describes the Abbey quite perfectly. Entrance is free, but donations are suggested. Guided tours and Tower tours are also available for a fee. Upon entering, you'll be captivated by the awe-inspiring architecture. The incredible stone fan vaulting above the Abbey dates from the early 1500s and was restored in the 1700s. It's just amazing how they were able to achieve all the intricate details in those days. Such delicate work, truly done by master craftsmen. What particularly piqued my interest were the red Victorian chandeliers hanging high above. The details were absolutely gorgeous and I found it interesting that they were updated to energy efficient, LED lighting, but still managed to maintain their old world charm. The stained glass artwork is not to be missed either along with the handcrafted Victorian oak pews. There is much to be discovered within the Abbey and you could spend quite a few hours here admiring all the monuments and memorials, taking a tower tour, and visiting the gift shop. I would have loved to take a tower tour and get a birds eye view of Bath, but we were on a tight schedule. Overall, this is a must visit when you're in the city of Bath. It's grand, it's beautiful (inside and out), it's a work of art!

For the many experiences here in Bath that are not free, aka all the museums, it was nice for the church to be free to visit. It actually reminded me of Westminster Abbey quite a bit with all of its tombstones carved into the walls and floorboards. The inside was absolutely beautiful too with its glass-stained windows filled with pictures that tell the history of the UK. The outside architecture is beautiful too as you can see it from all different parts of Bath. I think if you want to go upstairs you do need to pay extra for it but it shouldn't be that expensive. Also, since its in the center of the city, its easy to just pop in and out of there when you are bored of the places around it. Highly recommend!

Stunning piece of history and beautiful inside & out. Set in the heart of Bath, it is such an amazing landmark to see. What's interesting about the Abbey, is the more you look at it, the more little details start to become apparent, such as angels climbing ladders on each side of the front. Definitely a must when visiting Bath.

Bath Abbey is located in a square right next to the Famous Roman Baths - and stands majestically in the centre of the historical part of Bath, a must see for sure. Bath Abbey is a parish church of the Church of England and former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, it was reorganised in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries; major restoration work was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s

Bath Abbey is an incredibly gorgeous church. The Abbey is hundreds of years old. The site had its first church built over a thousand years ago. It was first built in the 7th century, reorganized in the 10th and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries. The Abbey is beautiful on the outside, actually beautiful doesn't even begin to describe it. It is the primary attraction in the City of Bath's old square and is right next to the entrance into the Roman Baths. From the outside, it looks like a grand church, the architecture is absolutely beautiful, very intricately designed with beautiful archways. I know nothing about architecture so sorry for the lack of knowledge. There is a huge wooden door that was an entrance into the church. I don't know if it is ever still used but the design on the outer door when its closed is breathtaking. The inside of the church leaves nothing to be desired. It is just as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. The stained glass windows are plentiful and each set of windows tells a story or features the subjects from biblical stories. The ceiling itself is masterful, I have no idea how it was created but it is beautiful. The whole church is just amazing to look at and be in. To sit in a pew and know that you are sitting in a seat that has held multitudes of people over the last 500 years has a very interesting effect on you, imagining the people who have sat on that same spot in their time of worship, sadness, happiness or just paying their respects. It has a way of making you feel very small in a big world. Not in a bad way but just to know you are a passerby in this Abbey's history. The history of the site and the Abbey is very interesting, being the site of the crowning of the first king of England in 973. The abbey was ordered to be ruined by King Henry VIII and remained that way for 70 years. The church as it is now wasn't repaired until 1616. And in the 19th century was upgraded further and more seating was added along with the inside and outside also being updated to a Victorian Gothic style. Inside the Abbey, there are ledger stones in the ground for patrons who have been buried there. It is very interesting to read the stones. It was interesting to find out that most are not in their original spots as they were once removed to install a central heating system. Definitely stop by the Abbey. There is no admission fee, however they do ask for a small suggested donation of 4 pounds. It is not required though and you can leave anything you would like. You can stay as long as you want when you go, as long as they are open. :) It takes a little while to truly take in all of the architecture, stained glass, floors, memorials and the absolute beauty of the Abbey. They do have tours where you can go upstairs and view the city from up above. We didn't do this, but it is available.

Founded in uhmm a long time ago. Typically seen as one of the top sites of Bath. Free to enter, but donations encouraged and suggested at £5. Apparently it costs £30,000 per week just to maintain the building. It's a very grand looking church. In the town center next to the Roman baths. Pay extra to go up to the top.

One of the top sights in Bath. It's a beautiful abbey. I recommend taking the tour and going to the top to get fantastic views of the city. It's well worth the money.

Wow! What an amazing gothic church. I definitely enjoyed wandering through the church (after paying the tour fee...which may have been optional but the church lady frowns made me realize I better pay). The tomb markers are lovely as is the soaring roof. Interestingly since I went to a few Anglican churches while I was in England, this was the only one that I had someone come up and offer religious pamphlets, not really proselytizing but it was unusual. There is a gift shop but it was unimpressive.

What a beautiful church. The architecture, the stained glass, and the largeness of it, really makes you admire it. You can walk around freely and take pictures and say a prayer. There's a small gift shop where you exit out of.

I highly recommend taking the tour to include going up into the bell tower. The guides were tterrific. I loved the information about tHe clock and the bells and the view was stunning.

What a gorgeous Abbey; inside and out! I love going to Catholic churches or Abbey and join the mass or prayer whenever I go travel since I am a Catholic myself. I got the senses of calmness when I was joining the evening prayer after all day city tour. It was the perfect thing to do to end my busy day. I would like to come back if I have another change to go to Bath again!

Bath is an ancient city with a surprisingly young church. Although there has been an Abbey here since 676 AD (King Edgar was even crowned here in 973 AD), the present church owes its origins to Bishop Oliver King, who began its rebuilding in 1499. The work was abruptly interrupted by the dissolution in the 1540's, so the last of Britain's great mediaeval churches was finally consecrated only in 1616. Its enormous perpendicular windows gave it the nickname 'the Lantern of the West', but in truth elements such as the nave roof were quick additions to complete the church. Its restoration in 1864 finally saw these elements finished to their original design, under the sure hand of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. The result is a feast of perpendicular architecture, with spectacular fan vaults and those huge panel windows. This is not to everyone's taste - it has been likened to a mediaeval greenhouse - but the central space is nevertheless awe-insipring. A lovely quirk is the carving on the west front, depicting the dream which supposedly led Bishop King to rebuild the church in the first place: two stone ladders, with angels climbing up and down, to and from heaven. Proof, if proof were needed, of British eccentricity, even in matters of religion...

Such a beautiful Abby and the tour was informative & fun. The tour guide was all serious and proper, typical Brit, but she was nice. It just sucked that the rain dampened the merriment of the day. The copy of the Magna Carta was a sight to behold. It is in the best condition of the only 4 surviving copies left. I'm glad I got to see it even though I can't read Latin. I love old architecture and this 1 is damn old. Next stop: Westminster Abby...

Summer was amazing!!!! I hope you get her as a tour guide. But whether you do or not, this is a great church/abbey to visit. A lot of history and architecture to marvel at. I would highly recommend the tower tour as you get additional in depth history of the abbey and a great view from additional rooms and towers. Also, ask for summer.

I'm not a religious person but I love visiting churches, abbeys, gothic places etc. Its all about the architecture!! And this place has it all. Definitely a must if you are ever in Bath.

Just look at the photos. I don't think it is worth describing in any other way. After the Roman baths, a highlight. Why can't I add photos?

So beautiful. I didn't attend service. I just took pictures. I'm a bit of an old church junkie.

Beautiful abbey, and the tower tour was amazing! Ben and Toby made it fun, with lots of information packed in with a lot of humor! Wonderful!

A lovely building with a nice interior, it would be hard to imagine skipping the place if you're visiting Bath simply because it's right in the center next to the Bath and it towers over the rest of the city. While historic and beautiful, it's not as memorable as many of the other large religious buildings I visited.

When wandering Bath, this abbey certainly stands out amongst the rest of the beautiful city. Definitely check out the schedule, as they do intermittently have services in the middle of the day, so you may be surprised when you stop in to wander and take pictures of the gorgeous interior. Despite this, the priest was quite nice when he mentioned that services would start soon, and told me I was welcome to just come in and sit at the back - and as long as I didn't take pictures during the services, I could absorb the setting, enjoy the service, and wander the interior when they finished. Very kind. Definitely a nice abbey, and very worthy of a small donation for entry.

You cannot miss Bath Abbey upon entering the downtown area of Bath. It is right next to the Ancient Bath ruins. On our Saturday visit in November, the square was crowded with people going here and there. The Abbey was a much welcomed sanctuary from the noise and busyness of the day. When we entered the Abbey we walked into a gift store area. The admission was free, donations welcomed. You do need to keep your bags with you at all times. We forgot a bag in one of the pews, and someone started screaming on a loud speaker! The interior of the Abbey is as impressive as the exterior. It's hard to find the right words, and the pictures don't do the space justice. It was well lighted with many windows and high ceilings. We were able to do a self guided tour on our own and just wander at our leisure. There are many ornate tomb markers on the walls, and floor markers. Bath Abbey's official name is the Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Bath. Originally this was founded in the 7th century as a Benedictine monastery, but is now an Anglican parish church. The church has been rebuilt a couple of times, the latest being in the 16th century, and restored in 1860. One of the interesting facts for architecture buffs, is that it is the largest example of perpendicular gothic architecture in the West Country. Definitely worth a stop to check it out if you are in Bath.

We did not pay to enter Westminster Abbey, we only got to see the outside, so when we got to Bath, and the "suggested donation" is 2.5 pounds per person, it was a deal compared to the ~20 pounds at Westminster. This Abbey, is a mini version of the other one of course, but the architecture is similar. This Abbey is more of a tourist type attraction, and they allow free reign and all the pictures your heart desires!

Bath Abbey sits on the main tourist square, right next to the Roman Baths - it's as if the Romans and the builders of the abbey were in cahoots with a view to attracting the tourist pound / denarius! It's an impressive structure from the outside, redolent with stained glass windows and flying buttresses. To visit inside, there's a semi-compulsory donation at the door but it's well worth the couple of pounds. It's what tourists expect to see with high vaulted arched ceilings and lovely stained glass windows. There are organ demonstrations but we were too early to hear one on the day we visited Bath. It's nice for a wander if you're ever in Bath

Wonderful part of strolling through Bath's city centre is this Abbey. The gothic arches are quite cool and although a contrast with the rest of the city which is known for its Victorian architecture and design- it is still a beauty. It is in this plaza along with just outside the Roman baths that you will see quite a lot of good street performers as well. Basically, if you are in Bath- you won't be able to miss this place one way or another.

While I'm not a religious person myself, I love the amazing architecture of religious buildings throughout the centuries. This is a beautiful example. Unfortunately, a large part of the abbey is under renovation so internal viewing is limited. But there is still plenty to see and take some time to read the memorials along the wall and floor to get a sense of both time and sentiment. My personal favorite feature of the abbey are the angels climbing up the ladders on either side of the entrance. They're particularly beautiful at dusk/night as you can almost miss them in the broad daylight.

Angels climbing ladders to Heaven on the outside & gorgeous angels' band overhanging the choir inside. Use the walking mirror for a magnified ceiling view. You can take pictures too, which is a definite bonus!

I love the city of bath, England, architecture is beautiful , I love to see Old churches and abbeys in Europe & what a beautiful Abbey in bath, I love the light on the building and the gothic architecture of the Abbey. A must see when you are in England. Enjoy the Photos.

I love touring big churches and cathedrals, and Bath Abbey did not disappoint. It is beautiful inside with a ton of history. As others mentioned, it's free to get in, but they do like donations. However, if you decide to do the guided tour, the cost for that (£6) counts. I highly recommend the guided tour. I believe it runs on the hour but the times vary by season. The tour takes you up through the church to see the bells, the clockface, and the roof! The views of Bath from up here are not to be missed. Our guide was friendly and funny, too. Just be prepared to walk up 200+ steep steps throughout your tour. There was also a docent there who was super sweet. She saw me wandering around alone and came up to tell me about the church--she knew I was American and even pointed out some American things (like a flag!) I had missed. Even the gift shop employees were so nice! So, everyone working here was lovely. A must-see in Bath!

If you've not seen it before, Bath Abbey is always most certainly worth a visit. It's an impressive structure in many lights, but best in the summer sun or under the floodlights they highlight it with at night - which actually makes it look a little bit like a spectre or ghostly floating building. Of course, if you've come from far away to see this structure, be sure to go inside and witness the splendour inside - it seems like a Tardis, actually, being much bigger inside than you would imagine. Often there are choir and orchestral performances dotted throughout the year, so timing your trip with one of these is a wise move.

Magnificent! You don't want to miss this place, such a beautiful sight that can be seen from a far. Up close it is even more beautiful. Be sure to take pictures. I wish I had more time in town, I would have loved to go inside. Enjoy the beauty I sure did.

The Abbey is free of charge to get in however they do request a donation if you're willing. The Abbey from the outside is very impressive and will truly take your breath away. I found the inside to be quite plain and not all that exciting compared to other Abbeys and Cathedrals, however it was good to see. You can climb to the top.... I didn't realise that while we were there so we didn't climb but I hear the view is great!

I'm a sucker for impressive architecture, especially architecture of the past. Whoever says that modern architecture is more impressive is having a fucking laugh. I mean, who wouldn't love the intricate designs and patterns? From the outside, Bath Abbey already looks remarkably stunning. When you walk in, you're immediately met with a large stained glass window and high ceilings that have beautiful patterns of their own. Customer Service: At the entrance, you're handed a pamphlet and you're welcome to donate if you'd like, otherwise it's free. One negative aspect is I do wish that more information was provided concerning what I'm exactly looking at. There were cards providing information, but otherwise the experience was completely impersonal. I found myself having a lot of questions throughout that I would've liked to have answered, but there was just no one available. For instance, maybe a few stories about the people who were buried at Bath Abbey, I saw all the headstones, but no information at all was provided as to who these people were, what they've done, etc. --- Overall, I rate Bath Abbey 4 stars because it is an impressive building with stunning architecture and it comes at a free price. However, I wish the staff was a lot more interested in teaching rather than just handing out pamphlets.

I love this Abbey in a different way than I love a lot of my favourite cathedrals. Much smaller than my favourite cathedrals, it makes it much more dainty, especially with the beautiful fan vaulting, gleaming Bath stone (which doesn't look nearly as yellow to me as say... Ancaster stone), and colourful stained glass windows that seem to reach for the heavens. Besides the architecture and the location (smack-dab in the middle of Bath), I also love that 1) it doesn't cost a penny (or should I say pence...) to get in, but donations are encouraged (£2.50 for adults and a quid for students) and 2) you can take pictures and no one will stalk you yelling "NO PHOTO!" Ok, maybe that only happens at the Sistine Chapel... Anyway, with free admission and its proximity to the Roman Baths, Sally Lunn's, steps away from the beautiful River Avon with a view of the Pulteney Bridge, there is absolutely no reason not to go.

This place is just spectacular! My review includes tour to the abbey's clock tower and main bell tower. Highly recommend to go on that tour. It takes about 30 mins. and there's interesting stuff up there (can't spoil). It's worth taking a tour at least to see whole town from high ground. You can see the building (Bath Thermal SPA if correct), where people swim in the pool on the rooftop. How crazy is that? :)

Simply beautiful. The architecture and history behind it all takes my breath away. And it's free ! :D

Yet another church. It was a sunny day, and this showed off the stained glass nicely. At night, the structure photographs well. If you have a good lens, try to capture the climbing figures on the walls on either side of the main entrance. They're quite creepy looking once the sun sets. Word of warning, it closes early on Sundays (14:30) and they effectively close the doors at least 5 minutes earlier than that. It would be nice to know if there is a pagan temple under the abbey (as it is right next to the roman baths and they, or another structure, may extend below it) but excavation is not allowed.

This place is a must whilst visiting the UK. Not only is Bath my favorite now, it has old and new to offer. When you visit any old establishment, you will come across tons, and I means tons, of churches. I loved this church! It was in the middle of it all yet still felt homey and very peaceful. You do not have to pay to get in but do leave a donation. You can also take pictures inside.

Bath abbey is beautiful - it is wonderful in the evening when it is all lit up. It is next to the Roman baths and shows the vast amount of history that Bath has - roman baths, medieval churches and georgian pump rooms.

baths centre piece, the abbey is what maybe bath a city and dose dominate the landscape! the interior is grand and everything one would expect from an abbey, there is also a little museum underneath the abbey which is free to locals which is small but can help get more info on the abbey itself. Probably the one thing to go see while in bath, tho its exterior is by far the most interesting part. Always very busy often with performers outside providing entertainment for the masses! Located right next to the Roman Baths.

Unfortunately the abbey was closed when we went to Bath. It had been recommended by a friend from Bath. Alas, it was closed for graduation day for the local school. The building itself is gorgeous and we would have loved to see the inside.

Outside the streets are always busy, bustling with tourists and street entertainers. Inside its a haven of tranquility. The architecture is stunning, the glass windows beautiful. There is often organ music playing and its a great place to just sit, relax and clear your head. Its right next to the Roman Baths, right in the centre of Bath.
