Explore Bradford on Avon

"I went to Bradford on Avon by bicycle with my host mother. We rode near the aqueduct. I think that it is a wonderful experience because you can enjoy seeing the landscapes and breathe clean air. The boathouses caught my attention because we don’t have them in my country."

Ingrid Julieth Cabrera Montana, Columbia

Bradford on Avon is a town in west Wiltshire, England with a population of about 9,326. The town’s canal, historic buildings, shops, pubs and restaurants make it popular with tourists.

Marvellous views of Bath, do the Skyline walk

"If you want to see marvelous views of Bath and have a look at the city from the hills, you should do the Skyline walk. If you decide to take this trip you should remember that you won’t only see amazing landscapes, but it’s a great opportunity to look at the historical monuments, ruins of castles, etc. which are encountered along the way. You can be sure that you will meet new friends during the trip, for most people won’t know the right direction, so you’ll discover Skyline places together."

Liubov Marina, Russia

The Bath skyline walk spans 6 miles, which can take approximately 2 to 3 hours on foot. Enjoy beautiful views over Bath and a breath of fresh air. It’s one of the most downloaded trails on the National Trust website.

Go to the Roman Baths

"I would like to recommend going to the Roman Baths. There is natural spring water and you can visit the museum. I think you will feel happy when you visit it. It has a really great view."

Meshari Almahmoud, Saudi Arabia

The Roman Baths attract up to one million visitors a year, making it one of the most visited heritage attractions in the UK. If you’re studying in the city it will make an interesting, cultural visit.

The Bath Bun

"I recommend one lovely café where I like to spend some really good time with my friends. It’s called “The Bath Bun” located in the center of the city. One of my favorite things about this café is the atmosphere. They decorate the wall with a beautiful flower print and they also serve tea using a variety of colourful flower printed cups. There are many kinds of tea, which are not only from the UK but also from Asia so you can enjoy several different tastes. If you want to relax and enjoy you should try going to this wonderful café."

Yoshiko Abe, Japan
