There are certain things that make Bath famous and you
can guarantee that these tourist hotspots are usually
packed, particularly during holiday times, so don’t
follow the crowd next time you visit Bath, get out and
about and see what’s really going on. Combine a spot of retail therapy with a step back into the past and enjoy the delights of the quaint Pulteney Bridge [map]. This olde world bridge is one of the few in the world that is actually lined with tiny independent shops, giving the whole area a distinctly Dickensian feel. If you’re looking for a history lesson that’s sure to send shivers down even the toughest spine, check out Bath’s famous ghost walks. Actors take you on a journey around the city centre, stopping off at some of Bath’s most haunted venues. Ghost walks begin at Garricks Head Pub [map] at the Theatre Royal. Prove to yourself that you’ve got what it takes to live like royalty and enjoy a scenic visit to the impressive Farleigh Hungerford Castle [map]. The picturesque ruins command splendid views over the valley of the River Frome. The chapel contains wall paintings and the fine tomb of Sir Thomas Hungerford, who built the castle in the 1370s. If you go down to the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise. Have fun and get fit by participating in a spot of paint balling courtesy of the Adventure Company [map]. They can be found on Hopps Road in Kingswood. If you want to comment on our choices or recommend somewhere, why not use our What You Recommend form to let us know. |
