The cooler weather may not be welcome in some ways, but the shoppers amongst you will have already started thinking about the new winter wardrobe you’re going to invest in – and it’s certainly the time of year to hit the shops.

There are more than four hundred shops in the compact centre of the city, and all true fashion lovers will be pleased to hear that more than 50% of them are independent. That means one of a kind items that you won’t find back home, all kinds of ideas for unique and meaningful gifts and hours of window shopping while you explore the city.

It’s not only the many shops that make shopping in Bath such an enjoyable experience, it’s also the atmosphere. With Georgian architecture lining the cobbled streets the city makes a relaxing spot to spend your savings.

The Royal Hotel in Bath is one of the most central Bath hotels, and it’s within easy walking distance from the centre of the city. That means you can nip back for dinner, get into your new outfit and be back in the city to show it off without any hassle.
