The Boathouse Riverside Pub and Rooms

Highlight • Pub

The Boathouse is a great spot to relax and have a drink on a balmy summers afternoon. It is on the banks of the Avon river so you can watch the boats and canoes go by and if you are in a boat, it has a side jetty where you can stop and pop in for a drink.

Thermae Bath Spa

Highlight • Rest Area

This is a modern recreation of the Roman Baths. It is in itself steeped with history, being part of the great redesign by John Wood the elder and younger so parts date back to the late 1700's. This is considered modern, however, set against the Roman Baths 2000 year history . These baths have been restored to be used as a spa with a number of bathing pools and treatment rooms available to bathe in and relax. They use the thermal waters of the spring that is situated in the Roman Baths but shouldn't be confused with the Roman Baths which is now a museum next to the Abbey
