Bath, England 2 Day Itinerary

Bath, England 2 Day Itinerary

This charming English town, just outside of the Cotswolds, was once home to Jane Austen and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Less than a 90 minute train ride from London, this is a great escape from hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the easiest ways to get to Bath is by the Great Western Railway train line from London to the Bath Spa stop. Trains run frequently throughout the day but it's best to get tickets ahead of time to save money.

Day One

After getting settled in, venture off and just walk anywhere. You truly can't head in a wrong direction. Explore the Royal Crescent, or some other filming locations from Les Miserables or Bridgerton. Then it's time for afternoon tea and an evening at the Roman Baths. 

Sally Lunn’s Historic Eating House & Museum

This is one of the coziest places for afternoon tea. They serve Sally Lunn buns, similar to a brioche, with clotted cream and jam.

Day Two

Spend your morning at the spa, swimming in pools heated by the natural hot springs, just as the Romans did. Follow a restful morning with a long walk along the Bath skyline or exploring the Bath Abbey, finishing up with another delicious pub dinner.

Thermae Bath Spa
@emilyworden
One of the highlights of this spa is the rooftop pool, heated by the natural hot springs, overlooking the city rooftops. You can book a 2-hour pass, which gives you access to the saunas, pools and ice chamber. Booking an early morning session will be the quietest time to go.
