Why Bath Abbey matters
Bath Abbey is bright and airy thanks to its many tall windows, and its fan-vaulted ceiling gives the interior a lacy look. On the outside, look for the carved angels climbing ladders on the west front. Tower tours take you up to the roof for a view across the honey-coloured city.
Talking points
- Fan vaulting gives a lacy look to the ceiling.
- Tower tours climb to the roof.
- The facade carries carved angels on ladders.
