Sightseeing

If you haven't visited Bath before, I highly recommend it! It's a beautiful city and only a 20 min drive away - there is lots to see, do and places to eat, drink and shop too. Take a stroll along to The Circus and The Crescent is see beautiful examples of Georgian Bath. Simply walking around, taking in the sights and grabbing a coffee somewhere is a lovely thing to do.
