Why?
A return visit to the city to explore its attractions at a relatively quiet time of year
A couple of winters back, we visited Bath, mainly for its Christmas market but also for the sightseeing. Although we enjoyed our time there and the market was great, it drew so many people, it was nigh-on impossible to do much in the way of sightseeing.
Recently, we decided that another visit was in order, at a hopefully quieter time, to get to know this fine city properly. Just don’t ask me why we chose to go back in the winter again, instead of waiting for the summer!
We based ourselves at Bath Waterside & Marina campsite, which is a traffic-free (but watch out for cyclists!) two-mile walk on the River Avon towpath from the city centre, or a five-minute walk from the park & ride bus station.
The beauty of Bath
Arriving reasonably early, we decided to hotfoot it straight into Bath to start sightseeing, stretching our legs by walking rather than driving.
Around 15 minutes into our stroll, we passed The Locksbrook Inn, duly noted for a refreshment stop later on. Another 30 minutes and we were in the bustling heart
