Famous for its beautiful Georgian buildings, Roman-built baths and Jane Austin, it's no wonder that Bath is a popular city for tourists. The gorgeous buildings made from honey-coloured stone help make Bath so well-known. It's full of old English charm that means visiting the city almost feels like stepping back in time. It's even so well preserved and beautiful, the whole city has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. As part of our road trip through the southwest of England, we recently spent two days exploring the historic city, and absolutely loved it.
Although we spent two days in Bath, it's definitely possible to see most of the main attractions in one day, making it a great place for a day out if you're in London. By train, it's 1 hour and 30 minutes from London Paddington to Bath Spa station, or 2 hours and 30 minutes by car along the M4.
