10 Roman Baths and Pump Room

The Roman bathing establishment with its magnificent Temple and Baths flourished in Aquae Sulis between the first and fifth centuries A.D. It was built around the natural hot spring which rises at 46ºC. The remains are remarkably complete and among the finest in Europe. New displays, costumed characters every day, free personal audio guides in eight languages, children’s audio tour and commentary by Bill Bryson included in admission price. To complete your day, taste the Spa water and enjoy coffee, lunch or tea in the 18th century Pump Room above the Temple.
