Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Jay BFairhope, AL1,119 contributionsWe stumbled onto this wonderful treasure as we walked around Bathampton. The church is quite old and full of history, including being where Arthur Phillip, the founder of Australia, is buried. The graveyard is fascinating, featuring headstones dating back hundreds of years. St. Nicholas is a working church and offers a quiet, off the beaten path respite from noise and crowds.Written 28 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HINA WIslamabad, Pakistan7,345 contributionsThis fountain presents a marble statue of women. We saw it in the Abbey churchyard of Bath. The lady in the statue is dressed in loose flowing robes, quite similar to Roman togas. She is shown pouring water from a pitcher into a wide urn. There is an inscription saying, ‘Water is best”. You can understand its significance if you notice that it was erected by the Bath Temperance Association in 1861. A tiny little bronze water-bearing angel can be seen under this fountain. This statuette was added here in 1986. I loved this beautifully crafted structure.Written 16 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David DDevon, UK28,195 contributionsThis ornate orb structure commemorates the bicentenary of the death of Admiral Arthur Phillip.
The Admiral died in 1814 and the memorial was unveiled on 12th July 2014. During his life he served as an Admiral in the Royal Navy and first Governor of New South Wales, Australia.
The armillary sphere sundial stands on a carved stone base in the grounds of the Assembly Rooms. It is sited almost opposite 19 Bennett Street, where Arthur Phillip lived for eight years.
There is a small plaque nearby with the following inscription:-
"In tribute to and in memory of Admiral Arthur Phillip Royal Navy (1738 - 1814)
First Governor of New South Wales
Founder of the modern nation of Australia."
It was only by chance that we spotted this memorial globe while walking down Bennett Street, do keep a look out for it.Written 1 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was commissioned by Mark Purnell's mother after his death. Mark had great love of music. It was made in 1991 by David Backhog. You can see the young Mozart playing his violin. He stands on a beautiful platform. At his feet you can see three artistically crafted doves, two squirrels and a mouse. Bath is a town fascinated by music in general and Mozart in particular. Every year a Mozartfest takes place here. I was very impressed by the statues of Mozart and his sister.Written 16 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravelingSoccerLoonSaint Paul, MN7,684 contributionsVictorian bandstand set in the middle of Royal Victoria Park. Large open grassy area with views of The Royal Crescent behind. I would imagine an incredibly enjoyable spot to listen to an outdoor concert.Written 27 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HINA WIslamabad, Pakistan7,345 contributionsWe saw this white tall column in the centre of the Queen Square. It was gifted to the city by Beau Nash in 1738. He got this obelisk erected in honour of Frederick Prince of Wales. It used to be around 70 feet high until a storm in 1815 shortened it. I still thought that it is an impressive edifice.Written 16 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HINA WIslamabad, Pakistan7,345 contributionsWe saw this cute little cherub’s statue stinting on the facade of a lovely building on New Bond Street. It seems to be the guarding angel of the always full dessert shop called Sweet Little Things. The winged Putti sits in a red niche under a Royal Coat of Arms. The Putti is a chubby, naked infant used in Renaissance and religious art. This tiny creature gives the street European vibes. Do remember to look up as you walk down the Milsom Street. It is a great photo-op.Written 16 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- David DDevon, UK28,195 contributionsThursday morning 27th May, a glorious sunny day with blue skies, as we walked into Royal Victoria Park.
The obelisk, in honour of Queen Victoria stands on a small roundabout inside the gate entrance to the Park at the top of Royal Avenue. It is approximately 10 metres tall (nearly 33 feet)
On the east side of the plinth , facing the gate, there is a relief image of Princess Victoria surrounded by ornate masonry, the following inscription is below :-
"VICTORIA. Her Majesty Queen Victoria married to His Royal Highness PRINCE ALBERT OF SAXE COBURG and GOTHA February 10 1840".
It really was quite a sight, as we approached the Park, to see the obelisk In all its glory flanked by the gates.Written 6 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

These artificial stone lions are replicas of marvellous Medici lions. We saw them on the gates of Royal Avenue’s south eastern end. They are representative of the crown of first king of England, King Edgar. These bronzed statues were placed here around 1818. You can see the lions standing with their paws raised onto gilded balls. I was truly impressed by the craftsmanship.Written 16 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HINA WIslamabad, Pakistan7,345 contributionsWe saw this interesting statue in the Parade Gardens. Legend goes that Prince Bladud was the founder of this city and the discoverer of the magic of it’s spring water. He got a severe skin disease when he was travelling beck from Athens to attend his father’s funeral. He decided to go into self exile to save his mother and Britons. He went near the place where Bath is located and became a swineherd. He noticed that the pigs which got his skin disease rolled in the muddy waters and got cured. So he bathed in the warm spring waters and got well. He was went on to become the ninth king of Britain. Prince Bladud’s statute dates back to 1859 and the pig was added in 2009. I loved the statue and the story.Written 16 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HINA WIslamabad, Pakistan7,345 contributionsOut of all Bath statues this one impressed me the most. Netflix has recently taken up the task of spotlighting the talented female siblings of famous brothers who were not allowed to shine because of their gender. Maria, nicknamed Nannerl, was a talented harpsichord and forte piano player, who used to perform next to Mozart. It is a historical fact that she used to gain greater applause then her talented younger brother in 1759 and later. It was only because of the social taboo, of being a female, that she was lost in oblivion. You can find her statue in the Parade Ground next to Mozart.Written 16 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David DDevon, UK28,195 contributionsThis Memorial stands outside Queens Gate entrance to Royal Victoria Park on to Royal Avenue.
The centrepiece of the Memorial is the tall Cross of Sacrifice which has a bronze sword on its front.
On either side of the Cross steps lead up to a semi-circular walled area. On the walls are a number of plaques which list of the Fallen in both World Wars and subsequent conflicts.
There are more plaques on the front wall of the Memorial commemorating those civilians who died during the air raids in World War II
Another feature are figures of small lions on the top of the balustrade around the Memorial.
Red poppy wreaths surrounded the base of the Cross.Written 24 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
