A peaceful retreat on the outskirts of Bath
THINGS TO DO
-

The Roman Baths
One of the finest historic sites in Northern Europe. Once the site of one of the great religious spas of the ancient world; the people of Roman Britain came to the site to worship the goddess Sulis Minerva and bathe in the waters of the natural thermal springs, which still flow with hot water today.
-

Lacock Abbey
Country house with monastic roots, once home to William Henry Fox Talbot, inventor of the photographic negative.
-

Bike Park, Longleat
This is a fantastic MTB park with route options for all abilities – it is a fairly basic setup though and you will need to find somewhere to rent bikes.
