The Roman Baths

Situated The Romans were the first to make a tourist attraction of the hot bubbling springs found in a bend of the Avon River, and for some 2000 years visitors have been enjoying the health enhancing benefits. There is now a well laid out museum brimming with facts that young and old will enjoy as your are guided past the well preserved remains of the baths and a Temple to Minerva, most of which have only be rediscovered in the past century. Absolutely worth a visit!
