We are lucky to be in a city which is beautiful all year around, no matter the season! That being said, Spring is a particularly gorgeous time of year in Bath. The city is waking up from winter, with blossoms bringing colour and joy and evenings getting longer. There are so many aspects of Bath to be enjoyed in the Spring.
If you’ve been dreaming about a spring getaway that’s affordable, scenic, and refreshing, Bath might just be calling your name — and staying in a hostel can make the experience even better.
The City in Bloom
Springtime in Bath is like walking through a Jane Austen novel sprinkled with colour. The city is full of green spaces to enjoy the warm weather and fresh blooms. From the Royal Victoria Park and it’s hidden Botanical Garden to the riverfront Parade Gardens, there are several oases dotted about Bath.
Tip: Take a stroll along historical streets such as Walcot Street to enjoy independent shops, cafes, wineries and fresh flowers lining the street.
Outdoor Cafes and Eateries
As the sun starts to show its face more and the weather warms up, it is a great time to start taking advantage of opportunities for ‘al fresco’ dining. Throughout the city of Bath, you will find a number of outdoor dining options. If you are looking for great views, Hare & Hounds is a fantastic spot for a nice meal and sweeping views of the valley. If you want more city-centre vibes, check out places like The Holburne Museum Cafe, Mantra, Bath Pizza Co. and the Bath Cider House.
Canal and River Walks
With easy access from the centre of town, you can walk along the canal in either direction and experience calming views, narrow boats and wildlife. There are also some wonderful pubs along the way. If you are looking for a longer walk, you can walk all the way to Freshford of Avoncliff and catch a train back to the centre of town.
