The lovely and historic town of Bath is about an hour and a half by train from London, or a two hour drive by car. Bath is in the Avon River valley, about 35 miles from Stonehenge (see below) and 17 miles from Bristol. Named after the ancient Roman Baths, it's full of incredible Georgian architecture from the mid-1700s. The Romans made Bath the first spa resort in England, and it became famous again as a spa town in the 18th century.

Of course, the Bath Abbey, located adjacent to the Roman Baths Museum, is one of the most interesting sights to see.
