Bath & Stonehenge Sunday trip adviseable ?
 
Planning on a side trip from London to Bath &amp; Stonehenge. Wondered if going on a Sunday would be okay. Would the sights be opened on Sunday ?<BR>

Yes - everything will be open on Sundays. But it would be better if you could manage a weekday - Weekends are the busiest times at the major sites (Stonehenge, the Roman Baths, etc.) When are you going? The Roman Baths are pretty busy year round - but on weekends in Summer they are REALLY crowded. if you are going this winter it won't be too bad tho'. Just shorter hours and shorter daylight to worry about.

We will be in London 12th of February thru the 18th. <BR>We had thought to do Bath &amp; Stonehenge <BR>on Sunday, Trying to make the most of our itinerary. We will be going to Windsor on Friday and wanted a day between traveling.

We have been to Bath on a Sunday, but this was in June, &amp; we went on our own via train from London. It wasn't overly busy in Bath, but there were enough people at the sites to keep you on your toes. Where we ran into problems was on the train ride back. We took a train back in the early evening. All seats were already taken from prior stops. By the time we were able to get seats for ourselves, we had already been standing for almost an hour. But, I think, it was still worth the trip to Bath. (It was my third time there.)

Bath is open on Sunday, I was there in December so it wasn't that crowded when I went (but it was a bit) and I had a great time touring the bathes and such. Be sure to make time to see the royal cresent, amazing architecture.
