I can highly recommend jumping on the open top Bath city tour bus, you can get on and off as you go around and of course you have some great vantage points up high. I was disappointed with the second route that’s available on the ticket, it sweeps out of the city and around the outskirts but most of the views are blocked by trees. So my advice would be do the city route once, get an idea of what you want to photograph then go a second time jumping on and off along the route
I have been on Flickr for many years but, as I don’t upload as many photos as I used to I decided it wasn’t worth paying a subscription.

Bath Abbey is a parish church of the Church of England and former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, it was reorganised in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries; major restoration work was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s. It is one of the largest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the West Country. The medieval abbey church served as a sometime cathedral of a bishop. After long contention between churchmen in Bath and Wells the seat of the Diocese of Bath and Wells was later consolidated at Wells Cathedral. The Benedictine community was dissolved in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

Grey Heron on the banks of the Avon, just outside the beautiful City of Bath
Been living down here for nearly 5 years and this was one of the few times that I have done the tourist day out in Bath complete with open top bus tour, although any time I have to go to the city I make sure I pop into the little sweat shop over there because they sell the best range of liquorice.
