Wander through the wonders of the Roman world
Step back in time and experience the Roman Baths, one of the most iconic sites in Bath.
Whether you're into ancient history or just here for the cool architecture, there's something for everyone. You’ll get a chance to walk through the original Roman site, learn how the Romans used the baths for socialising and relaxing, and maybe even pick up a few fun facts along the way.
Take your time exploring, snap some photos and discover a bit of fascinating history along the way.
We hope you have a great time, meet a few new people, and enjoy a little step back in time. Let’s go explore!
Please be aware: You need to bring your library card to receive your free ticket.
ResLife Ambassador Kamal will be ready to meet you outside Bath Abbey at 4:45pm. You’ll be able to recognise him wearing a light blue t-shirt or hoodie with the ResLife logo.
If you prefer to arrive earlier, there is plenty of benches available outside the Abbey.
You can get directions to Bath Abbey here.
When you arrive at the Roman Baths, you will need to show your library card to receive your free ticket. As a part of your ticket you will be given an audio guide which you can listen to. You are welcome to explore by yourself or as part of the group.
Please note the Roman Baths are not fully accessible. There are lifts but to access the entire site, you will still need to climb some steps. For further details on accessibility, you can visit their dedicated webpage here.
Visiting the Roman Baths can take anywhere between 90 minutes to 2 hours. There are no scheduled breaks, but if it any point you feel you need to rest, please let ResLife Ambassador Kamal know, he will be leading the group and will help to organise this for you.
Please make sure to wear trainers or shoes you'll be comfortable doing lots of walking in as the Roman Baths has lots of steps and things to see.
