Priston Glamping

Head into the centre of Bath (20 minutes’ drive) and make a beeline for the grand abbey – climb the 212 steps for stunning views across the city’s rooftops, then meander over to the Royal Crescent for snapshots of the mighty handsome Georgian townhouses. Wondering what puts the ‘spa’ in Bath Spa as you amble along the cobbled streets? Well, that’s the old Roman Baths – they're well worth a visit but not somewhere you can take a dip. For that, a state-of-the-art thermae wellness centre is on hand for drenching yourself in soothing hot water… Dry off and learn about one of the UK’s most famous authors at The Jane Austen Centre, then roam to the river and seek out a tearoom serving up cream and scones overlooking the water; for more vistas, the Bath Skyline walk (a little to the east of the centre) is a six-mile path through meadows, valleys and woodlands with views out across the honey-coloured houses of the city.
