Tour of Abbey Tower Bath UK

After walking around inside the Abbey, two very knowledgeable tour guides. lead you up a narrow spiral staircase, totalling 219 steps to the top of the tower. At half way you stop at the bell ringers room, behind the clock face. The guides tell you the amazing history of the tower and how the bells have been rung through the ages. While standing behind the clock face every thing about the clock is also explained, very interesting, fascinating documentary. Then you continue the climb of the narrow stairwell to the top. The 360deg views of Bath and the surrounding countryside are quite breathtaking. The cost of the tour is £5, which is very reasonable for such a well organised, explanatory history, of the Abbey.
