Really lovely and beautiful church . Take a tour to the top of the tower, it's really worth it.

Spend the £6 and take the Tower tour . It is completely worth your and you will be contributing to the upkeep of the abbey as well . Note: there are a lot of steps on the way up. Around 300ish steps.

Quite beautiful architecture ... arrived in Bath too late, so unable to enter and explore but you can tour the tower + get skyline view of the town !!!

One of the largest example of perpendicular gothic architecture in the west countries which founded in the 7th century .. U must visit it while u r n Bath !

God has been worshipped on this site since 675AD! Go when they open to book a tour of the tower.

If you are lucky enough to listen to the choir don't miss the opportunity. The acoustic in the abbey is spectacular.

Angels climbing ladders to Heaven on the outside & gorgeous angels ' band overhanging the choir inside. Use mirror for magnified ceiling view

No entry fee to the Abbey but a member of staff asks for donation. The recommended amount is £2.5.

Building work under progress, so could not see too much. Despite this still a lot on show.
