What to do on a family or couple's hot tub break in Camerton
Camerton transformed from a quiet agricultural settlement into a thriving coal mining community during the 19th century. The village sits in the Cam Valley and retains much of its historic character despite the mines closing decades ago. St Peter's Church dates back to the 13th century and the village maintains strong connections to its industrial past.
The location works brilliantly for hot tub stays because you can explore Bath's Georgian architecture, visit Cheddar Gorge or walk the Cotswolds before returning to your private hot tub. We find guests appreciate having both cultural attractions and outdoor activities within easy reach. The surrounding Somerset countryside offers excellent walking routes whilst major cities provide shopping and dining options.

The village itself rewards exploration with its mix of period cottages and remnants of mining heritage. The Cambrook stream runs through the valley and several footpaths connect to the wider Cotswolds Way network. Bath lies just 20 minutes away by car whilst Bristol's harbourside and Clifton Suspension Bridge make excellent day trips from your cottage with hot tub.
