Bath Abbey Tower Tour

Climb 212 Tower steps for a unique view of Church and City. See the Ringing Room where the bells are rung each day. A step-free Abbey tour is also available. 

What to expect

Our free activities are here to help you take some time for yourself and to meet others that understand the joys and challenges of looking after a loved one.

  • The tour will last for approximately one hour and refreshments will be provided in the Learning Room after the tour. 
  • Some of the steps to the tower are steep, uneven and narrow, and there are low ceilings in parts and narrow doorways. For these reasons the tour isn’t suitable for those in poor health – please get in touch us if you’re unsure about your fitness to participate.
  • There is the option to do a floor tour of the Abbey instead for those who would like to come but aren’t able to climb the tower, just let us know when booking if you’d like to do this.
  • Part of the tower is open to the elements so please dress appropriately and ensure you have suitable footwear for the climb.

If you need help with transport to attend this activity, please inform us when booking. Whilst we will do our best to arrange this, please note that we cannot make any guarantees.
