Love is in the air this month, but Valentine’s Day isn’t the only reason to celebrate in Bath
15 Reasons To Love Bath

1. RELISH THE RIVERSIDE

With the River Avon hugging the south side of the city and the Kennet and Avon Canal meandering out to the northeast, relish the riverside in Bath. Take to the water on a boat trip or stick to dry land with a wildlife-spotting walk or bike ride, and don’t forget a well-deserved pub lunch .

2. READY FOR RELAXATION

Keeping true to this spa heritage, you’ll find plenty of pamper spots in Bath, making it the perfect place to unwind. Book to stay in a luxurious spa hotel, from The Bath Priory to The Gainsborough Bath Spa, or pop into a day spa-like Radiance Wellbeing or Frontlinestyle for a treatment or two.

3. AWE-INSPIRING ARCHITECTURE

One of the most notable reasons to love Bath is its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site – the only city in the UK to be given this title – putting it on the map as a truly remarkable place. See why by promenading the streets during golden hour, that special time of day when the setting sun makes the buildings’ stone glow.

4. GREEN SPACES GALORE

Bath is a green city with plenty of parks and gardens to explore. Perfect for picnics in the coming months, Royal Victoria Park is home to the iconic Royal Crescent, Parade Gardens is right in the heart of the city and Alexandra Park is the place to be for breathtaking panoramic views.
