Those on a luxury mini coach trip to Bath this month may be able to enjoy a unique visit to one of the city's main attractions.

The famous Roman Baths are offering visitors the chance to explore the site at night by torchlight throughout August.

According to Visit Bath, the sight of the ancient building illuminated by the flames is a wonder to behold.

"By the light of flickering torches, you can walk on 2,000-year-old pavements and really sense the spirits of the ancients, providing a truly magical atmosphere which no other venue can surpass," the tourism body claimed.

The site features a host of Roman artefacts, as well as its famous steaming baths, which make up the heart of the Unesco World Heritage Site.

Built by the Romans, the baths are situated close to the UK's only hot spring and still flow with the naturally warm water.

Other attractions in the city include the Jane Austen Centre - which celebrates Bath's most famous literary resident.
