Parade Gardens

Highlight • Natural

Majestic park at river level over looking the weir and providing the perfect retreat from shopping!
These delightful gardens are Bath’s most centrally situated and popular pleasure grounds, attracting both tourists and residents. Overlooking the River Avon they give fine views of Robert Adams Pulteney Bridge and the weir, especially from the colonnade built early in the last century. The bedding displays are among the finest in the country and the annual 3-dimensional floral feature in the summer is always fun. Concerts are held in the bandstand throughout the summer months and children’s entertainment is provided during the summer holidays. Deck chairs are available. Picnics are allowed but there is also a café with outdoor seating.
Open from April to the end of September. There is a small entrance charge to non-Bath and North East Somerset residents.

Bath Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Bath, commonly known as Bath Abbey, is an Anglican parish church and a former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, Bath Abbey was reorganised in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries; major restoration work was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s. It is one of the largest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the West Country.

Bitton Railway Station and Café

Great stop for the brilliant cafe, or to quickly use their loos. Some bike parking is available. Steam trains run along the track on a number of months, which is a lovely sight. Be careful when crossing the track though!
