Sightseeing
The baths are open late in the summer with last entry at 9pm so a good way to avoid the crowds and the coach travellers in the daytime and you can enjoy the baths by Roman torches and even buy a drink from the pop up bar to have as you wander round. There are also free tours.
Check times beforehand as summer timings will vary from year to year.
