Quote: Bath Abbey is not the main reason most visitors come to the city, but its accessible location (just across the plaza from the Roman Baths) makes it an easy stop on any trip. In fact, we found it pretty much deserted, but that gave an even better... Read the full Bath Abbey and Heritage Vaults Museum review

Quote: Bath Abbey reminded me of a church here in Pittsburgh, St. Benedict the Moor, on the inside. However, Bath Abbey was much better and much older.

Bath Abbey and the Heritage Vaults
Quote: The Bath Abbey is located across from the Roman baths. You can view the inside of the Abbey, but I chose to view the underground vaults instead. I believe it's just 1 pound to view the museum. It's a rather small museum, so an hour is more than... Read the full Bath Abbey and Heritage Vaults Museum review

Bath Abbey
Quote: Begun on the site of an earlier abbey in 1499, this abbey soars. A series of flying buttresses on each side divide five large light windows. As with many churches this size, the exterior is as much an architectural wonder as the interior. Witness... Read the full Bath Abbey and Heritage Vaults Museum review

Quote: The original Abbey Dates back to 973. The present Abbey was rebuilt in 1499, then destoyed in 1539 and repaired again in 1611. This is a good example of a Norman Cathedral. The windows all have different scenes. Examples of Old Testament... Read the full Bath Abbey and Heritage Vaults Museum review
