Beyond the city
Glastonbury
A treasured English town known for its spiritual history and flamboyant culture, Glastonbury has garnered a worldwide reputation. Only an hour’s drive from Bath, it makes for a jam-packed day trip, though it’s likely you’ll want to stay longer. During summer, Glastonbury makes headlines with its famous music and arts festival. Now considered the largest festival of its kind in the world, thousands flock to this farmland venue to celebrate. The town is much quieter the rest of the year, but still provides plenty of other fascinations. Glastonbury Abbey is one of the oldest in England and is believed to be the burial place of King Arthur. The mythical Glastonbury Tor is also an important religious site and evokes a haunting sense of the past. Climb up the iconic hill to its landmark tower and enjoy sublime views of the plush Somerset countryside.

Top spots
For the photographer
The Royal Crescent of Georgian architecture, built during the 18th century, is by far one of Bath’s most iconic landmarks. The row of golden buildings is the city’s classic postcard image. Alternatively, take an early stroll along the canals and find a tranquil point for the perfect photo op. 
For the historian
The Roman Baths, where this town’s fame began, is the essential historic site to see. The hot springs here are the only ones in Britain, and thanks to Roman technology, they were turned into impressive bathing establishments. The amazingly well-preserved spas and accompanying museum are eye-openers for any history lover.
