Holburne Museum of ArtSittuated at the end of Great Pulteney Street, this museum of artworks from around Jane Austen's time can be a little too far out of town for some people. Enjoy the walk is my advice.

In a period of 70 years Bath developed from a small provincial spa to being the most fashionable place, outside of London. Using a series of models, maps, paintings and reconstructions the museum looks in detail at the various crafts and personalities that built this wonderful city. We have an unrivalled collection of authentic and specialist tools, fixtures and fittings from the Georgian period.

Sally Lunn'sSally Lunn, a young French refugee, arrived in England over 300 years ago. She began to bake a rich round and generous bread now known as the Sally Lunn Bun. This bun became a very popular delicacy in Georgian England as its special taste and lightness allowed it to be enjoyed with either sweet or savoury accompaniments. Many attempts have been made to copy our world famous Bun with little success.

Bath AbbeyThe Abbey is in the centre of the city, a few yards from the entrance to the Roman Baths. You may come in to sightsee or to pray without paying anything at all. However, it costs over half a million pounds a year to look after this ancient and lovely building and to light, heat and staff it for our visitors. To add to these routine expenses, there is the ongoing conservation work which began ten years ago with our major conservation programme, Bath Abbey 2000. So far this has cost over four million pounds.
