Bath is a whole city on the UNESCO World Heritage list, and it earns the title. Roman engineering sits under honey-coloured Georgian terraces, and almost everything worth seeing is packed into a small, walkable centre. The hard part is getting there and back in a day. With a private chauffeur, the drive along the M4 takes around two and a half hours each way, and you spend it resting instead of navigating.
Why Visit Bath With a Private Chauffeur?
Bath is best enjoyed slowly. Parking in the centre is limited and expensive, the coach tours move to someone else's timetable, and the train still leaves you with a walk up the hill to the Royal Crescent. A chauffeur solves all of it.
We collect you from your London home or hotel, drive you to Bath and wait at each stop for as long as you like. If you decide to skip the museum and linger over lunch instead, your chauffeur simply changes the plan. No group tour can offer that kind of freedom.
The Roman Baths
The Roman Baths are among the best-preserved Roman remains in northern Europe. The complex is built around a natural hot spring, and at its centre is the Great Bath, a lead-lined pool still fed by the Sacred Spring almost 2,000 years after the Romans built it. The museum around it is full of coins, carvings and the curse tablets that Roman bathers threw into the water. People have been visiting since the 1st century AD, and it is still one of the most memorable historic sites in the country.
Your chauffeur will drop you close to the entrance and meet you wherever suits you when you have finished.
The Royal Crescent and The Circus
Completed in 1774 to a design by John Wood the Younger, the Royal Crescent is a sweeping arc of 30 townhouses above a long lawn, and it is one of the most photographed streets in Britain. A short walk away, The Circus, designed by his father John Wood the Elder, sets 33 houses in a perfect circle with three streets leading out. Between them, they sum up Georgian Bath.
To see inside, visit No. 1 Royal Crescent, a townhouse restored to show how a wealthy family lived in the 18th century. Your sightseeing chauffeur will drop you at the closest point and wait while you explore.
Bath Abbey and Pulteney Bridge
Bath Abbey stands in the middle of the city, with a tall Gothic tower and one of the finest fan-vaulted ceilings in England. Look closely at the west front and you will see carved angels climbing ladders to heaven, a story told in stone more than 500 years ago.
A few minutes' walk away, Pulteney Bridge crosses the River Avon with shops built along both sides, something you will otherwise only find on a handful of bridges, such as the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. Robert Adam designed it, and it was finished in 1774. The view of the bridge and the weir from Parade Gardens is the classic Bath photograph, and your chauffeur knows where to drop you for it.
Thermae Bath Spa and Prior Park
Thermae Bath Spa is the only place in Britain where you can bathe in natural hot spring water. The water rises at around 45°C, and the modern building sits right next to the ancient bathing sites. The rooftop pool, with views over the Georgian skyline, is the highlight, especially at dusk. For a birthday, anniversary or honeymoon, an afternoon here is hard to beat.
If you like gardens, Prior Park on the edge of the city is an 18th-century landscape garden with advice from Capability Brown and one of the few Palladian bridges in the world. Your hourly chauffeur can fit it in as a quiet stop between the city sights.
Wookey Hole Caves: An Optional Extra
About 45 minutes' drive from Bath, Wookey Hole is a series of huge limestone caves carved by the River Axe, with underground rivers and dramatic rock formations. People lived here thousands of years ago, and the caves are home to the local legend of the Witch of Wookey Hole, which is backed up by a skeleton found inside. It makes a great addition for families.
Your chauffeur can add Wookey Hole to the day, drive you there and wait while you explore, then bring you back to London in the evening.
