This Cathedral is very beautiful both in and out, I loved seeing the clocks striking on the quarter hour and hearing the choir practising was a special joy while wandering around. There are some steps up to the Chapter House on the left which is a light area with a very attractive ceiling and a good place to sit peacefully for a few minutes.

Steve and Sally were fantastic hosts during our family alpaca walking experience today (25 August 2020). We have spent the morning with all the alpacas and my girls loved it saying “it was the best experience ever!” Would highly recommend a visit to see the alpacas. The refreshments afterwards and homemade cakes capped off a perfect morning. It’s a thumbs up and five stars from us! ????????????????????.

Brilliant to see the house as it would have been in Georgian times, with each room explained by a knowledgeable and welcoming volunteer. Great value for money - a couple of hours flew by!

What a thoroughly interesting site, spent a good while looking around the place, which is worth a visit in itself. We came back for the next available TOWER TOUR which was very reasonably priced and the absolute highlight of my day - you need to be able bodied and physically fit to climb the steep and very numerous stairs of the spiral staircase, but you are well rewarded. Very knowledgeable guides, small groups (due to space confines) and amazing content - sitting behind the clock face, on top of the Fan ceiling, in the Bell Room and on the roof of the tower with its stunning views of Bath are BIG highlights. I'd give this 6 out of 5 if I could!

One of only three bridges in the world lined with shops, this exquisite 18th-century bridge is one of the most admired structures in Bath.

For those who are familiar with the film Les Miserables in which Javert, played by Russell Crowe, jumped to his death, will be delighted to discover that the bridge of Javert's demise is actually located in Bath . It is, I suggest, best approached via the toe path along the river. As you round the bend the bridge springs into view. If you continue to the bridge, you can ascend the stairs and emerge on the bridge to discover a wide range of interesting shops and cafes. Well worth exploring, without the need to visit Paris.

We had such a lovely day out here at Noah's Ark Zoo Farm. Lots of space, with play area's for little ones to run around and play and not get bored with the same play equipment, my Son loves the Elephant Butt Slide the best! Lovely range of animals, including Rhinos and Bears! The keeper talks are all good, we loved the Meerkat's (as our Son got to throw some food in) and the Big Cats talk the best The keepers are very knowledgeable, and their dedication and love for the animals is clearly shown. The Bird of Prey display was brilliant - I managed to get some good photos! We are definitely going to come in the summer holidays with a picnic and our friends. Thank you Noah's Ark for a lovely day out!
