9 Insider Tips for Visiting Bath, England

5. Check out local shops
Bath is known across Somerset for its excellent shopping opportunities. It has a wide range of lovely independent shops well worth your time (and money). A few of my favorites are: Timber Treasures (handmade wooden goods), Mr. B’s Bookshop and Topping & Company Booksellers (lovely independent bookshops), and Wool (a “knitting emporium” my mother heartily enjoyed).
From the end of November into the first few weeks of December, Bath is home to an extensive Christmas Market. Locals may grumble about the crush in City Center, but it is a great place to pick up some presents. At night, it glows with Christmas lights and is marginally less crowded (especially in the middle of the week).
