Really cool Abbey with neat architectural features. I'm guessing it's better with the tour as there is little to no information posted otherwise.

A beautiful building with a rich history. Make sure to hold on to your ticket! After the main part of the church it’s a one way gate to the shop, but if you want to go downstairs to learn the history of the site you’ll need to present your ticket again.

Outstanding Abbey!!! We only had the chance to watch it from outside as it was closed that day! But still… we enjoyed the day and the area surrounding the Abbey…

The Abbey is as beautiful inside as it is outside we also paid to do the tour to climb The Abbey which is the heights point in Bath. The views are stunning and well worth the climb I would definitely recommend it!

Beautiful building, well worth the small entrance fee.

Pretty big with a long history. Can easily spend over an hour here as so much to see.

We went to watch an Incredible performance of Viennese opera few days ago. The Cathedral is absolutely astonishing. Lots of history there. I highly recommend this place to be visited in summer time as well!

Great experience! Absolutely stunning! We signed up for the tour (including clock tower). Our guide was amazing & gave of lots of insights - it was very interesting (and trust me, I usually get bored easily). We climbed all the way up onto the roof - the view is FANTASTIC! Best view over Bath for sure! If you opt for the last slot in autumn, you get a sunset option! We were in love!

P.S. you can also see inside the baths!

Did both the floor tour and the tower tour. Both very enjoyable. Tower has 212 steps that get tighter towards the top. Good workout getting up! You get to see the clock, bells and the Bath skyline. Well worth the effort!

Absolutely stunning well worth a visit, easy to find a couple of minutes walk from the train station. Admission charge Adults £6.50 but well worth it. Staff are helpful polite and informative, it has a nice gift shop a little over priced. stunning well worth a visit, easy to find a couple of minutes walk from the train station.

Very nice cathedral. Worth to visit.
Small fee to enter.
There is a tower that can be visited but tickets get sold quickly for the tower.
If you just want the abbey it's ok just to walk in any time.
The abbey itself is lovely, better to go when it is sunny so you can see all the windows displaying all the majestic scenes.
