Bath - what to do and see?

[MaggieW]

I have a weekend on my own in Bath, which I am really looking forward to, but need tips on where to go and what to see. Have done the Roman museum etc in the past and would love to do some shopping, mooching in nice cafes, so any tips appreciated!

Oh it's lovely - you lucky thing! Just mooch around and read 'Northanger Abbey' whilst drinking tea and eating cream cakes! The costume museum is nice and I like to nip into the shop at the Jane Austen centre. Some good shops too.

Go to the spa

Am just going to second the spa! Can't beat the open air roof top swimming pool

A few random thoughts:

The cafe on the first floor of the Bloomsbury shop (on the corner opposite Waterstones) is good for watching the world/eating their cakes.

Demuth's veggie restaurant (near the baths) a great place for lunch - fab and interesting food.

Also, go for a walk - I don't know Bath well enough to guide you, but 20 mins will get you out into the hills for a fab view of the city.
