As a real shopping hotspot, Bath isn’t short of places to pick up mementos of your stay. But if you’re after something really special, these are the places you need to visit…

1. The Roman Bath Shop

No trip to Bath would be complete without a visit to the world-famous Roman Baths, and if you’re looking for a memento to remind you of your time here you’re in luck. The Roman Baths has two shops – one at street level, which can be visited independently of the baths, and another inside the Roman Baths museum – selling great gifts with a Roman and Georgian flavour. You can even pick up a mini souvenir bottle of water from Bath’s hot spring!
