No study of Romans would be complete without a trip to the Roman baths in Bath itself. We went down for a weekend and used the YHA Bath as our base for a couple of nights. Our room was smart and comfortable with a private en-suite and the breakfasts were fabulous too!
It was a seriously hot day and the tourists were out in force so the Baths were pretty busy but we didn’t feel rushed walking round and exploring. The free audio guide was really interesting and we all ended up listening to the children’s version narrated by Michael Rosen as that was funnier than the adult recording.
It was amazing for the girls to see the Baths “in real life” and to walk where Romans had once walked. We all really really enjoyed this visit.
