Do a Bridgerton Tour in Bath City Centre

If the ‘Featheringtons’ don’t ring any bells, keep scrolling!

And if you’re already queuing up the iconic Netflix series to re-Watch Next, you’re in luck!

This Bridgerton Tour is pretty much everything any hardcore fan has ever dreamed of.

You’ll visit the show’s popular filming locations with the help of a local guide (also local to 19th-century London) who’ll lead your two-hour tour and give you all the behind-the-scenes gossip.

And what’s more, if you do this tour, you’ll also get to see more of the sights on this list which is a real plus!

Climb Bath Abbey’s Tower

Whilst we see so many tourists pass through the city every year, only those who climb Bath Abbey’s Tower can say they’ve made it to the top of their bucket list.

The gorgeous building is slap bang in the heart of Bath, so it’s practically unmissable, and a selfie with the views of the bustling city centre below is the definition of Gram-friendly. 📷

Visit The Roman Baths

Just like you wouldn’t go to Paris without visiting the Eiffel Tower, you also wouldn’t go to Bath without visiting The Roman Baths.

A National treasure and a favourite proposal spot, this attraction is not to be missed.

Don’t forget to check out the shop and grab a little souvenir or a gift for the family back home.

Relax At the Thermae Spa

No matter what kind of day you have ahead of you, there’s always time for relaxation.

And what better way to unplug than on a naturally heated rooftop pool overlooking Bath city centre?

This spa also boasts some fantastic facilities such as an outdoor and indoor pool, a sauna, a steam room and several treatment rooms, so grab your Thermae Spa Pass and enjoy!

Visit Royal Crescent & The Circus

You can have a picnic in the manicured gardens surrounding the two architectural marvels, grab some stunning photos for the ‘Gram and take a short stroll to the Botanical Gardens nearby.

If you’re visiting in summer, you can catch Bath on the Beach⛱, and if you’re visiting in winter, you can catch Bath On Ice ⛸ (usually late November to early January), which are just moments away from the Royal Crescent.

Do a Literary Walk

Bath has so much to offer to fellow book lovers.

You can do a “bookshop crawl” and visit Toppings, Persephone Books, Waterstones, Mr B’s Emporium, and the Jane Austen Centre, before heading to the Poets Corner.

It’s a historic district in Bear Flat where every street is named after a poet. How cool is that?!

Finish the experience by doing a Frankenstein Escape Room & visiting the Mary Shelley Museum which will add an extra dose of excitement to your already special literary crawl.

Try Sally Lunn’s Bunn

Sally Lunn’s Historic Eating House is the city’s oldest house that’s also a museum and an eatery.

Pop in to try the secret recipe of every local’s favourite Original Bath Bun.

If we had to describe it, it’s like a fluffy brioche bun with scone toppings. Delicious!

Go On a Shopping Spree!

As certified shopaholics (we’re a hen party company after all!), we must tell you that there’s nothing that beats a SouthGate Shopping District & Milsom Street shopping spree.

You’ll find all kinds of amazing deals, discounts, and classy brands like Reiss and White Stuff all basically on the same street.

What’s more, if you’re visiting in winter you’ll be in luck as the city centre transforms into a lively Christmas Market (it normally runs from late November to mid-December) with even more shopping opportunities!

Admire Pulteney Weir and Bridge

If you haven’t already gotten your dose of sightseeing on your visit to Bath, Pulteney Bridge should be your next stop.

As with any of the city’s unique sights, the spot is ten times more stunning in person than it is in a photo.

You can head down to Parade Gardens and admire the weir from up close or take a walk along the bridge and take in the magic from above.

Go With the Flow!

The River Avon passes through the city and its most notable highlights which means that it offers one of the coolest ways to explore Bath.

Just stroll down the riverside footpath and see where the current takes you!

You can also go punting and kick back as Bath’s ‘best of’ compilation unravels in front of you. Ideal!
