Bath on the bank holiday?

Recommended Posts

We're going to Bath on the Saturday morning of the Bank Holiday.

 

If we leave around 10 in the morning, will we run into a lot of traffic -- would it better to take the train?

 

Any suggestions for what to do in Bath? Any good restaurants? Any good walks (3-6 miles ideal for us) -- could either be in Bath or as a stop on the way?

I think you'll be behind the bulk of the traffic going down to the west country at that time - I'd reckon a 3 and a half hour / 4 hour drive.

I do Bath on a non Bank Holiday day and its 3.5/4 hours if its running smoothly.

 

Can't help with things to do i'm afraid as I usually end up out towards Devizes.

Plenty to see and do in Bath, if its walking you want, try one of the walking tours, much more informative than the open top bus tours and you get to see stuff properly.

 

Plenty to choose from here

Take a circular guided bus tour. Superb

Yes I'd probably go for the walking tour as well, very interesting and informative. (And one of them is very funny but I can't remember what it's called, sorry)

 

I'd also make a point of going to the Roman Baths - absolutely amazing.

If you want to actually go in the heated spring water (you can't at the Roman Baths,) there's an outdoor spa bath called the Thermae Bath Spa, nearby in the town centre.

Thanks for the advice on driving and what to do. Forum is better than a travel agent!
