BATH SPA station is very central - the train is the ideal way to visit this splendid city, avoiding traffic and parking stresses. There is an excellent, well organised website to help you get the most from your visit: www.visitbath.co.uk The Tourist Information Centre phone number is 0906 5862313 - this is a premium rate number, so get what you can from the website first! Or drop in to see them when you arrive - they are well situated in Abbey Church Yard beside the Roman Baths and the Abbey. 

Bath is designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for its architectural masterpieces. The Royal Crescent, the Circus, the Assembly Rooms and Pulteney Bridge are some of the best known buildings, dating from its heyday as a Georgian spa resort. Bath has been a spa town since Roman times when the Roman Baths and Temple were built around natural hot springs - the only ones in the country! And you can still 'take the waters' today in the elegant Pump Room.

Bath has lots of museums and art galleries including the Holborne Museum, a Museum of Costume and the Royal Photographic Society. There's plenty of evening entertainment with theatres, clubs, gourmet restaurants and pubs. Bath also hosts several arts festivals including the mid-summer Bath International Festival with classical, jazz, folk and blues music.
