Sally Lunn’s Historic Eating House

One of the most important eateries in Bath is Sally Lunn’s historic eating house. As a Huguenot trying to escape persecution in France, a young baker found her way to England before settling in Bath in 1680. In the bakery the young lady created what is has become known through-out the world as ‘The Sally Lunn Bun’. This light sweet bun attracted visitors to the area over 300 years ago and to this day people from all over the world come to taste this remarkable sweet bread. Come and taste this bun for yourself and dine in the eating house that has an exquisite menu we think you’ll love.

The Royal Crescent

Created by John Wood the Younger, The Royal Crescent has to be seen to be believed. Used as a backdrop in films and television programmes alike, the crescent is one of Britain’s best loved landmarks. Made up of 30 houses, that look the same on the public side, the crescent sweeps elegantly ‘round and adds a touch of magic to the beautiful city of Bath.

Come and visit the crescent and bring a picnic if it’s a sunny day. Don’t forget to bring your camera as we know you’ll want a reminder of your visit.

Pulteney Bridge

Pulteney Bridge is an incredibly beautiful bridge and is only one of a few in the world that have been designed to house shops within the structure itself. Make your way to Parade Gardens Park and then to the crescent weir, here you will get one of the best views of this elegant bridge.  Pulteney Bridge looks absolutely stunning during the day, but at night it looks just magical, especially if it has been lit up. You can see the bridge for free and spend as much time as you like taking pictures or just marveling at the view.
