Queen Square Obelisk

Highlight • Monument

In the heart of Bath is Queen Square – a square of Georgian houses designed by John Wood, the elder in the early 18th century and paid for by Beau Nash. The square was designed to join the houses in unison and give the impression that together they formed one large mansion when viewed from the south facing side.

The focal point of Queen Square is the obelisk at the centre which commemorates the visit of Frederick, Prince of Wales.

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

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.
