A perfect weekend in Bath

Two days, three thousand years of history and at least one Bath bun. Here's how we'd spend 48 hours in the city.

Saturday

Start early at the Roman Baths before the crowds arrive, then walk up through Milsom Street to the Royal Crescent. Lunch in one of the cafés on Margaret's Buildings.

In the afternoon, explore The Circus and the Assembly Rooms, then book an evening session at Thermae Bath Spa.

Sunday

Take a river cruise from Pulteney Weir, climb the Abbey tower, and finish with a walk up to Prior Park for the view back over the city.
