How much time you get in Bath

Every day tour we list from London to Bath also stops at Stonehenge. Most add Windsor too, and the day takes about 12 hours.

That means only a few hours in Bath. If Bath is your main goal, the train gives you more time there.

For Stonehenge alone, see our Stonehenge tours. More day tours from London are on our day-trip page.

What you see in Bath

Bath is famous for its Roman Baths and its Georgian streets. The main sights are close together.

  • The Roman Baths: the Great Bath, built over Britain's only natural hot spring.
  • Bath Abbey: a Gothic church right next to the Roman Baths.
  • The Royal Crescent and the Circus: curved rows of Georgian houses.
  • Pulteney Bridge: a bridge lined with shops over the River Avon.

The Roman Baths ticket and city walk

Book the Roman Baths for a set time slot. Entry is by booked slot, says the Roman Baths.

Until 31 October 2026, it opens daily 9am to 6pm, with last entry at 5pm. It is closed on 25 and 26 December.

Prices change by month and day. In September 2026, an adult ticket was £26.50 on weekdays and £29.00 at weekends, on the official site. Booking ahead saves £2.

Free guided tours inside

The Roman Baths lists free hourly tours from the Great Bath, from 10am to 3pm. The city walking tour is a separate, paid walk around the town.

GWR runs direct trains from London Paddington to Bath Spa. The trip takes about 1 hour 20, per GWR, with trains about every 30 minutes.
