Bath Abbey
Beautiful architecture
Gets really busy and you need to book. Go early or late to avoid the crowds. They offer a twilight package in the evening with dinner and wine which is fun to do. You can also book treatments. Take an extra towel as even though they supply them, they get very wet. Kids have to be over 15 to go in.
