Step It Up! (Tower Tour + Abbey & Discovery Centre Entry)

Climb the 212 steps of Bath Abbey's Tower to learn and see more, of not just the Church but also the City. By joining a Tower Tour you will step behind closed doors, to catch a glimpse of our clock face and fan-vaulted ceiling from the other side. See our bells and understand this age-old tradition, before admiring the picturesque and panoramic views at the top.

Our fully guided tower tour lasts 45-60 minutes and are available throughout the day.

Step It Up! Tickets can be booked at the Welcome Desk upon arrival. Tours are booked on a first come, first served basis. For times of tours, please ask a member of staff upon arrival.
