bath abbey

Bath Abbey是很壮观的建筑。参观外面之后，可以花钱参加一下内部游，爬到上面去看看风景，听听讲解，看看钟楼如何打钟，挺好玩的。

Bath Abby实在是太大了，挤在一片狭窄的街道里，显得它无比的巨人。比起同时期法国西班牙的教堂，Bath Abby显得精炼多了，如果法国是戴了层层贵族装饰的公子，Bath Abby就是个话不多的干净书生。这也许也和英国一直都不是一个能出精致手工活的国家有关。修长简约的风格也贯穿了内饰，教堂的彩绘玻璃也是瘦长，内部没有太多的其他装饰，没有太多浮雕和壁画。总体而言是个很快就能看完的教堂，但是珍贵的是，这个旅游胜地几乎每天都排了社区的礼拜服务，而且执事的人员都超级的nice。

我真的很喜欢大教堂和修道院,这里没有让我失望。令人惊叹的建筑,还有屋内外的彩绘玻璃,真正让你感觉到平和。有些评论说道,这里是要求要捐赠的,但我不认为15块钱用来维修是种敲诈(这是可选择的),我们在那里呆了一个小时左右。我会建议步行去参观这个教堂(免费),这样你会对这里的历史和设计有更多的了解。

巴斯修道院是个建造在巴斯市中心的美丽且具有历史感的建筑,对面就是巴斯罗马浴场,修道院有美丽的前廊可以俯瞰附近的步行街,在多个角度都可以欣赏由美丽的石刻雕凿出来的遥远建筑。室内有个拱形天顶,虽然周六下午我们参观时人很多,可是气氛宁静放松,连气息都凝固住了。如我所说,真希望能有更多时间探索历史,于是下次我再来巴斯时就有事情可干了。修道院商店也值得一去,有一些可爱的卡片和有品质的纪念品。这里不收门票,但是最好捐个款。

我们就在外面逗留了一小会,照了些相片,然后再罗马浴场玩了一会。我们和其他43位,一起旅行,时间就是金钱啊。一定要看建筑上的坠落天使。

这里绝对值得一来。建议花钱去钟塔看看。此行充满惊喜,趣味十足。最后以在屋顶观看美妙景色而结束。

我去的时候看到其中一面墙上展示着精美的刺绣,全出自一位妇女之手。坐在教堂后面欣赏彩色玻璃窗时,一个志愿者主动上前要带我参观,真的很有趣。教堂的外围和里面的通道、可爱的礼品店。

Oh wow is what sprung to mind as we walked through the internal doors, beautiful beautiful beautiful! There was a wonderful array of historical tomb stones there with beautiful stained glass and an incredible ceiling. The organist was playing whilst we were walking round which made it even nicer.

Disappointing. most of the Abbey was covered up for renovations. Intimidated by the "suggested" donation required upon entry in the porch of the abbey before you can get in. Wouldn't bother going again. Nicer places in town

Brilliant, so much to see inside and out. Beautiful architecture.All for a suggested donation of £2.50

Having admired the architecture, most of our time was spent reading many of the memorials which told stories of times past. The diptychs are stunning and the work of one lady, Sue Symons. The craftsmanship is superb. Some very talented buskers were also performing in the vicinity and provided an extra dimension to the visit. Worthwhile way to spend an hour.

what a beautiful abbey this is ...the ceilings are so ornate. Really enjoyed walking around and the peaceful and calming feeling you got from the visit was amazing

Beautiful abbey!.Do one of the guided tours it's really worth it to learn about the history of the abbey. Can also do the abbey tower tour.

I booked on the last Tower Tour at 4pm on a beautiful spring day. I was the only person booked on it. The tour went ahead and lasted about 45-50 minutes. I was offered for my small ruck sack to be stored away for the tour, which was a good option as the stair cases were narrow and required some ducking through doorways as I am fairly tall.The first set of stairs is 120 and are quite narrow and winding as you'd expect, you then exit onto one of the roofs for photos before ascending the final 92 steps onto the tower itself. You also get to sit behind the clock, see the bell ringing chamber and the bells themselves. You also get to cross the Bishop's Balcony. There are lots of interesting facts and stories and the guide was happy to answer any questions and was very knowledgeable and friendly.The information provided on the tour is really interesting and was delivered with real enthusiasm and love for the place by the guide. The views from the tower are great and you can see the Thermae roof top spa pool and the roman baths as well as all across Bath. To finish the tour you climb down the tower steps and then down a different set of steps past where my bag had been stored so it could be collected and then back out into the Abbey. The tour was well organised and thought through.I really enjoyed the Tower Tour and it offered great views across Bath on a clear, crisp spring day. Combining the Tower Tour with a stroll around the Abbey itself extends the visit from 45-50 minutes to 1HR+.

If you are fortunate enough to find yourself in Bath, you must stop by the Abbey. It is a beautiful Gothic style cathedral with a wonderful history. The fan inspired vaulted ceiling is unique and beautiful. Do not forget to look down at the floor and look at the names and dates of those who proceeded you. The most memorable portion of our visit was the Tower Tour. For £6, you climb 212 steps to the roof for a birds eye view of the City and the seven hills which surround it. Before you reach he top, you visit the bell room and see the different ways the bells can be rung; you also visit the bell chamber and get to see the bells that you most likely heard prior to your entrance into the Abbey. The guide provides a great historical overview as you climb, rest and duck through low ceilings and a few narrow spaces. My daughter and I were the only ones on the tour; we definitely felt we were receiving a unique behind the scenes experience. We were even allowed to ring the bells! I do not recall the name of the individual who guided us, but he was a great host - a true gentleman, full of knowledge and kind (locked up my backpack so I did not have to take it on the climb and took our photo).
