Christmas in Bath

This four-night tour from Just You invites a quiet Christmas break centred in Bath, a city best known for its sweeping Georgian crescents and the well-preserved Roman Baths. After arriving and settling in, the group meets for a welcome dinner over a glass of wine and mince pies.

Christmas Eve includes a guided walking tour through the historic streets of Bath, followed by a self-guided visit to the Roman Baths themselves, where the 2000-year-old spa waters hint at the city’s long history as a place of rest and rejuvenation. Christmas Day offers time at leisure in the hotel or perhaps a stroll along the Royal Crescent, where the snow, if it falls, will rest on the honey-coloured stone rather than the nearby city traffic.

On Boxing Day, a coach tour takes in Bristol’s highlights from its harbourside to the street art of Stokes Croft, before crossing the Avon Gorge to pause atop Brunel’s Clifton Suspension Bridge. Afternoon tea with prosecco at a local hotel rounds off the day before the final dinner. On the last morning, guests say their farewells with breakfast before making their own way home.
