    Wander the wooden chalets of the Christmas market around the Abbey and the streets nearby, with mulled wine, local makers and plenty to snack on.

    Why it's a good date: Bath is made for Christmas, all golden stone and twinkling lights. Weekends get very busy, so go on a weekday evening if you can.

    Soak in naturally warm spring water in Britain's only natural thermal spa, saving the best for last: the open-air rooftop pool, looking out over the Abbey and the hills.

    Why it's a good date: Floating in warm water on a rooftop as the sky goes dark is hard to beat. Go in the evening, and on a cold day if you can: the steam makes it.

    • Rainy day

    Walk round the steaming green Great Bath and the remains of the Roman temple and bathhouse below street level, then taste the spa water at the end of your visit.

    Why it's a good date: It's the one everyone comes for, and it lives up to it. On summer evenings it stays open late and the Great Bath is lit by torches, which is the time to go.
