Roman Baths

Visit the heart of the World Heritage Site. Around Britain's only hot spring, the Romans built a magnificent temple and bathing complex that still flows with natural hot water. See the water's source and walk where Romans walked on the ancient stone pavements. The extensive ruins and treasures from the spring are beautifully preserved and presented using the best of modern interpretation.

'Meet the Romans' costumed characters mingle with visitors every day. Hear the stories of those who lived and worked here 2,000 years ago, recreated using the best detective skills of Roman Baths archaeologists. Children's audioguide and "Bryson at the Baths" audioguide tours included in the admission price.

Special offer: Make the most of Bath's thermal waters in a full day experience that spans 2000 years! Package includes 2 hour session at Thermae Bath Spa, a ticket to the Roman Baths, and a 3 course lunch in the Pump Room - all for £55 per person. Contact the Roman Baths for more details.
