r/Bath

I'm moving to Bath soon so I've started looking on apps/FB groups. Unfortunately I mostly see student sharing houses and via agencies. I have pets so I think my best options will be without agencies and no sharing, like a 1 bedroom (outside the city? Given the pets). Is there any app you'd recommend for that? On spareroom it's mostly student sharing and on rightmove is mostly via agencies. I would appreciate any help, thanks.

Bit of an odd question, I know. I got into ant keeping and with mating season having begun, I'm looking for convenient spot to catch a queen. Does anybody know any place not too far from town centre with large, active populations of ants?

Can't remember the name, but it sells vapes and online TikTok trend type tat. It's in the old Maplins shop, next to Tesco. It's been closed for a while now but it had not long opened. These kind of shops often hit problems but if it's hit the wall already I think it might be a new speed record.

Does anyone know anything about the unhoused man who walks around oldfield park (specially moorland and Arlington road) with a limp? As a younger women there’s been a few concerns about safety in Oldfield recently

Hi everyone! 👋

My friends and I are staying in Bath for 3 nights and we’ll have a car. After Bath we’re heading down to Dorset, so we’re trying to make the most of the surrounding area before continuing on.

So far we have:

Stonehenge (already stopping there on the drive to Bath)
Castle Combe
Salisbury

We’d love any recommendations for other places worth visiting as day trips from Bath before heading to Dorset. Hidden gems are definitely welcome!

Also, how long would you recommend spending in the New Forest? Is it worth a drive through: half day or just a few hours.

Thanks so much !!

Hi all! My partner and I are moving to Bath next week into an unfurnished flat. Does anyone have recommendations of places we could get second hand furniture in person?

Thanks all :-)

Hello, does anyone know what happened to this store? Google maps just says it is 'closed' for the foreseeable

Anyone know of any spots for leaving books in terms of free Libraries or things like that?

I know a couple but it would be good to have a list.

So far I have:

• Stratton House on Park Lane
• Inverness Road, Twerton

Are there any cafes that have this?

Obviously charity shops are good too. I just feel weird about only giving one book at a time.

We went to Widcombe yesterday and were sorry to see it appears to have gone?

This is a long shot but I'm hoping to find some sumac trees so I can use the berries for cider and other drinks this summer. I've seen only a couple but they are growing in gardens near busy roads. If anyone knows of any away from busy roads, it would be greatly appreciated!

I come from Canada where sumac grows all over the place and I'm missing that flavour.

Hi I am visiting Bath and I would love to find some good nature walkings or similar! any recommendations?

Looking for some restaurant recommendations please! Bringing my girlfriend for her birthday weekend and would like to go somewhere super nice for the evening meal. Not crazy expensive but somewhere nice! Worth noting I am veggie and she is gluten free. Also any brunch recs please!

Also if anyone has recommendations of what we should do/see whilst we’re there I’d appreciate it! I already have an activity on one of the days but more recommendations would be good.

Hello. I have a hankering

I want to buy a whole hot rotisserie chicken. And then I want to eat it. Where is the best place in Bath I can buy one on a Saturday morning?

Thank you.

Hi all

Where would I start post code / street name wise?

I envisage having to park on a hard shoulder.

Need some guidance for this amateur.

Thank you.

Having a 4th July BBQ tomorrow, but I've left it a bit late to source a keg. Are there any places in or around Bath that I might be able to pick one up? Maybe not a full-size one as we're unlikely to sink 90 pints, even in the heat.
