Bath World Heritage Centre

At the Bath World Heritage Centre you can:

  • Discover what makes Bath such a unique place
  • Find out more about the city’s attributes of Outstanding Universal Value: the hot springs, Roman remains, Georgian architecture, Georgian town planning, the social setting of the Georgian spa town and the city’s natural landscape setting.
  • Meet the Bath World Heritage Centre staff and volunteers who will give you more information on the amazing history and heritage of Bath.

The Centre features a host of interactive exhibits and displays designed to inspire, excite and inform. There are also free walking trails and guides to help visitors to the city explore all it has to offer. 

The Bath World Heritage app can be downloaded from both the Apple store and Google Play store. Packed with fun features, trails, quirky facts and a GPS map, the app allows people to build bespoke itineraries based on their preferences. When you visit a destination, you can collect augmented reality characters and stickers allowing you to take the ultimate selfie or create fun pictures with family and friends. You can also collect golden acorns that are located around the city and reveal hidden gems.
