Perfect Bath Day Trip Itinerary " width="1024" height="768" /> The beautiful World Heritage city of Bath is one of England’s top highlights . Even if only you’re travelling in this country for a week or so, then you really can’t miss this stunning town situated in the country’s south west corner . Unbelievably, I hadn’t visited this gem in my home country, until this summer – 32 years in! With a trip to Bristol to see friends booked (read more about the best free things to do in Bristol here), Bath seemed like the perfect accessory , only 15 minutes away by train.
