Sally Lunn’s Guide to Bath
Nestled in the rolling hills of Somerset, Bath is one of England’s most beautiful and historic cities. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Bath is famous for its stunning Georgian architecture, ancient Roman Baths, and natural hot springs. Whether you’re visiting for a day or planning a longer stay, Bath offers a unique mix of history, culture, and relaxation.
A City with a Rich History
Bath was founded by the Romans in the 1st century AD and was known as Aquae Sulis. They built grand bathhouses around the city’s natural hot springs, which can still be seen today at the Roman Baths – one of the UK’s most famous historic sites.
In the 18th century, Bath became a fashionable spa town, attracting visitors from across Britain. Many of the city’s finest buildings, including the Royal Crescent, The Circus, and Pulteney Bridge, were built during this period, giving Bath its elegant Georgian character.
Plan Your Visit
Whether you’re visiting for a day trip or planning a longer stay, Bath has something for everyone. From historic sites to relaxing spas, independent shops to scenic walks, it’s a city full of charm and character.
A visit wouldn’t be complete without trying the famous Sally Lunn Bunn – a delicious, light, brioche-style bread that has been enjoyed for centuries. You can taste this historic treat at Sally Lunn’s Eating House, one of Bath’s oldest buildings.
