The Roman Baths

Highlight • Natural Monument

Found in Bath city centre, the Roman Baths are an impressive example of Roman life. Used for public bathing during Roman reign in Britain, the baths are composed of a Sacred Spring, Roman Temple and bath house. The baths were gradually built from 60-70AD atop of natural spring water from the Mendip Hills that bubbles beneath bath.

Today, you can visit the baths and its museum. But don't expect to go for a dip, as you cannot go in the water. The baths are open from 9am-5pm. Tickets start from £14.40 for adults and you can save 10% by booking online, here: romanbaths.co.uk
