Bath is about an hours drive from the Gite. My personal recommendation is the boat trip from beneath Putney Bridge up to the pub at Bath Hampton. Also the Roman Baths, Spa, Cathedral and my favourite Theatre the Bath theatre Royal. Many restaurants take pre theatre bookings. So why not make a day of it ?
