PRO TIP

When visiting Bath, for a unique piece of living history during your free time, visit Sally Lunn’s Eating House & Museum (Bath’s oldest house) to try their famous brioche bun. The queue outside often looks long, but because they have three floors of seating, it moves quite fast. If you don’t want to wait in line, skip the restaurant line and walk directly down into their basement museum. There, you can buy a freshly baked bun in a beautiful historic box to take away.
