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 !!!
Stunning architecture . Take a tower tour for great views of the city .
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.
Absolutely lovely! The architecture , though a mix of medieval and 18th century is wonderful!!
show up earlier in the day to make sure you can book a tour
Otterly and Holly were our tower guides and were lovely! Very much recommend the tower tour if you're up for a climb :)
Make sure an look at the angels climbing the ladder up to the top. They're earring their way up to heaven like we have to also.
Fantastic historical city
Beautiful Abbey! The best I've ever visited! Although, I didn't like the attitude in the shop... :o/
If you are lucky enough to listen to the choir don't miss the opportunity. The acoustic in the abbey is spectacular.
Such a beautiful place with breathtaking architecture
Mind out for the baby eating bishop! Lovely Evangelical church in the centre of Bath. Very friendly and welcoming volunteers.
Angels climbing ladders to Heaven on the outside & gorgeous angels ' band overhanging the choir inside. Use mirror for magnified ceiling view
Sit back in the square and people watch , pigeon watch and enjoy the diverse street performers .
If you are around on Sunday morning then go to one of the services, the congregation are very welcoming.
lol and behold #theBathAbbey ????????
Spectacular building.
You need to do the Tower Tour as well .. costs a five, and it's worth it.. if you don't mind 200+ narrow steps..
212 steps omg
As gorgeous as ever!
The Abby's floor is hot because of thermal hot water going under.
Check out the upside down angels on the ladders and the spaceman too. Very cool
Just made it to the top of the tower lots of steps bit a good 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.
Ok but too many tourists like myself.
Tower tour costs £6 now.
Amazing views across the city. - Carl Griffin
