Parent Tips

🚼Pram

Central Bath is hilly and largely built on Georgian terraces, so routes around the Royal Crescent and up to the Circus involve slopes and the odd flight of steps, though the main shopping streets and the riverside path along the Avon are manageable. The Roman Baths themselves aren't stroller accessible inside (lots of stairs and slippery stone), so plan to use a carrier or take turns. Royal Victoria Park has a large playground and flat lawns that are an easy win for toddlers needing to run around.

🍽️Food & Eating

Bath has a relaxed cafe culture and plenty of family-friendly restaurants around Milsom Street and the Southgate shopping area, most with high chairs and kids' menus. Sally Lunn's, one of the city's oldest tea rooms, welcomes children for its famous bun despite the historic setting. Supermarkets and Boots are easy to find for baby supplies.

πŸ›‘οΈSafety

Bath is a low-crime, walkable city that feels very comfortable for families. Tap water is safe to drink. The main things to watch are the steep hills and uneven historic paving underfoot, which can be tricky with a stroller or an unsteady walker, especially after rain.

πŸ₯Hospitals

The Royal United Hospital (RUH) Bath has an emergency department and paediatric care for anything urgent. Pharmacies including Boots are easy to find in the city centre for everyday needs like fever medicine. NHS urgent care is free at the point of use, and travel insurance is recommended to cover any gaps.
