Bath Abbey is in the centre of Bath, about 10 minutes walk from the train station.
From the outside it is stunning and very impressive.
There is no entry fee, visitors are just asked to make a donation to contribute to upkeep - £2.50 per person is suggested.
A brief free guide leaflet is provided, which gives some detail about the history of the Abbey and explanation of some of the beautiful stained glass windows.
There are many volunteers and staff working in the Abbey who are happy to answer questions etc.
There is also a museum, which is interesting, but probably would not be suitable for children.
There is a shop within the Abbey selling the usual gifts and memorabilia etc.
Services are advertised if you wish to attend.
You could probably spend an hour or two here if you visited the museum, or if you just have 15 minutes simply enjoy strolling around the Abbey taking in the beauty and atmosphere.
When you leave, there are plenty of tearooms, restaurants and gift shops in the locality, plus other Bath attractions, if that is what you are looking for.
Advantages: Central, clean, good value, complimentary breakfast and parking Disadvantages: Typical Holiday Inn - not a lot of character
, hairdryer, cable/satellite TV and in-room movies. The rooms are spacious enough for 2 adults and 2 children and there is a large lounge bar which is handy for when you come back from traipsing round the sites of Bath (and the shops). In the reception area, there is an ice machine and vending machines. We have to say that a big bonus is the complimentary continental breakfast which is included in the price - another bonus is the free parking - city centre parking is very expensive, and rare, normally (especially in Bath).
At the information desk, we found very helpful staff who were happy to provide us with a shedload of information on the attractions of the city, from BathAbbey, Sally Lunn's Refreshment House, the Roman Pump Rooms - just to mention a few. Bath also is bursting with a wide variety of interesting architecture, superb ...
Advantages: Amazing views, Great history, lots to see and do. Disadvantages: parking!! too many tourists in the summer.
attracting visitors for over 2,000 years because of its historical features. The history of The Roman Baths, bathAbbey and the surrounding areas of the Royal Crescent have been popular sites for hundreds of years. These are amongst the finest buildings in Europe to be built. Bath is near many other interesting towns such as Weston Super Mare, Wells and Frome. It is easy to get to and there are many relaxing places to stay.
~ HISTORY ~
The City has been through many eras and this can be shown by the different buildings and features added over time.

Advantages: Something for everyone Disadvantages: You need a few days to see it all
Bath is an amazing city with something for everyone from Roman Ruins to excellent shopping malls, together with museums and an abbey. We stopped here for a couple of hours as part of our Orient Express experience (see opinion) and took a guided tour.
The Roman Baths are a must see. Built around a hot spring which still produces water at 46.5 degrees centigrade, the original Roman building was about 20 feet below the level of the pavement today and has been excavated to reveal a wealth of architecture. The principal feature is the Great Bath which is now open to the elements but which was roofed in Roman times. It is 70 feet long by 30 feet wide and 5 feet deep and is still fed from the spring via Roman plumbing. The original lead lining of the bath remains intact. The statues around the edge of the bath were added in the nineteenth ...
