Why go
Bath Abbey is a living parish church in central Bath; its home page says it has been a place of Christian worship and pilgrimage for more than a thousand years, and its visiting page says Bishop Oliver King replaced the ruined Norman cathedral with the present Abbey in 1499. The visiting page says Abbey and Discovery Museum tickets can be bought online or at the Welcome Desk on arrival. The tours page says guided Abbey Highlights tours of the Abbey floor are included in the entry ticket, subject to availability, and that guided Tower Tours climb 212 steps, run Monday to Saturday subject to availability, and are booked online or at the Welcome Desk on a first come, first served basis. It is a working church that holds services, and visiting times are set by the Abbey, so check its site before you go. This record is the church, not the Abbey Cemetery in Widcombe.
