In Bath, hot springs rising naturally from the ground were already used by the Celts and later the Romans, who built a temple there between 60 and 70 AD — giving rise to the town of Aquae Sulis. These springs, the warmest in the United Kingdom, still deliver around 250,000 litres of mineral-rich water a day.

Reopened in 2006 after a project backed by the Millennium Commission and a decade of construction, Thermae Bath Spa is the only establishment in the country built around a natural thermal spring. It offers two thermal pools, an open-air rooftop pool overlooking the Georgian skyline, and a wellness suite with steam rooms, an ice chamber, and an infrared sauna.

Insider tip — This is the only place in Bath where you can bathe in the city's genuine natural thermal water. The rooftop infinity pool overlooking the Abbey and surrounding hills is at its most magical around sunset — book that slot first. Towels and robes are available to rent on-site.
