5 Best Shops To Visit In Bath - Unique & Independent Shops in Bath

Bath is our home town and I have been living here for over 30 years. In that time Bath has gone through some big changes some good some not so good but without doubt whether you are visiting the UK from Japan, America, Australia, France or Timbuktoo Bath is one of the most beautiful cities in the UK and a must visit.

You will find many of the same big retailers as you do in Tokyo, New York or any other small city or town around the world, however tucked away on some of Bath’s beautiful Georgian streets are some wonderful shops that are independently run and are unique to Bath.

Here is our list of the 5 best shops to visit in Bath:

1. Fine Cheese Company - Bath

Do you know your Stinking Bishop from your White Nancy or even red Leicester from your Cheddar? Well if don’t you must pay a visit The Fine Cheese Company and find out.

Located on Walcot St (the artisian quarter of Bath) the Fine Cheese Company has a huge selection of cheeses. Some of the cheeses are imported however a large number are local cheeses some of which are from local Somerset farms. One of my favourites is even from Bath called Bath Soft Cheese.

You can also indulge yourself in some tasty sweet treats many of which are made locally. If you are feeling hungry you can also have lunch there in the shop’s own café.
