Why Roman Baths matters
The Romans built a grand bathing complex around the hot spring that flows here, and much of it survives beneath the modern street. Walk beside the steaming Great Bath, see the temple remains and the artefacts, and learn how the baths were used. An audio guide brings the Roman world to life.
Talking points
- The hot spring has flowed for thousands of years.
- The Great Bath is lined with lead.
- The Georgian terrace above is a later addition.
