Orientation tour

The first sight most visitors have of Bath Abbey is the West front, with its unique ladders of Angels.

Dan, our guide, told us the story behind this. It is that the Bishop of Bath, Oliver King, is said to have had a dream of angels ascending and descending into heaven which inspired the design and which also inspired him to build a new Abbey church – the last great medieval cathedral to have been built in England





Bath is a World Heritage Centre

UNESCO added The City of Bath as a 'cultural site' to its World Heritage List in 1987. Bath is included because of its Roman Remains, 18th Century Architecture, 18th Century Town Planning, Social Setting, Hot Springs and Landscape Setting.

First day - Roman Baths

Today we went to the Roman Baths in the morning. We took an audio tour and we had to complete some activities in the dossier. We all worked really hard!
Next we walked around the town and we went to a park. There we had our packed lunch  and we played some sports: rugby and football. We had a great time because the weather was amazing!
After that, we went back to the city centre and had an ice-cream.





The Roman bathing establishment was built around the natural hot spring which rises at 46oC. It was built between the first and fifth centuries AC.


To complete the visit we could taste the Spa water! It was very hot and we didn't like it!
