Bath Water to Go, Boutique Shopping and Antique Markets
Shopping
Bath supports a combination of larger stores and unique boutiques with specialty items, along with antique stores, flea markets (on Wednesdays), tea shops, and its famous spa waters, available by the bottle. The city does not have one main shopping district, but it is compact and easy to navigate.
Morning
To get an overall picture of department store shopping in Bath, start off at the flagship department store, Jollys House of Fraser, and explore its offerings in men and women’s clothing, accessories, shoes, and housewares,.
Afternoon
Antique lovers should not miss Bartlett Street Antiques Center, with 20 dealers hawking furniture, silver, antique jewelry, collectibles, paintings, toys, military items, maps, and brassware. If you are easily distracted by brightly colored glass, Bath Aqua Glass has handmade products that are reminiscent of Roman glass vessels; you can also tour the facility. Later in the afternoon, traditional tea time may inspire you for a stop at Whittard of Chelsea, a tea shop stocked with teas, coffee, hot cocoa, tea cozies, teapots, and more.
