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.
