Bath Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
Other attractions include the brand new Thermae Bath Spa (see below) and the charming Pump Room (tel: (01225) 477 785; www.romanbaths.co.uk). Accessed through the Roman Baths, the Pump Room is a striking neo-classical salon that has been regarded as the social heart of Bath for more than two centuries.
Nor is any visit to Bath complete without a trip to the oldest house in town (c.1483), where Sally Lunn's Refreshment House and Museum (tel: (01225) 461 634; www.sallylunns.co.uk) can be found and the world-famous Sally Lunn Bun (exceptionally light, semi-sweet bread) enjoyed. Go for the refreshments rather than the very small museum.
There are museums and galleries aplenty as well, such as the Jane Austen Centre, the Building of Bath Museum, the Museum of Costume and the Holburne Museum of Art.
