Great Bath Home ShopsThese carefully-selected Bath home shops are great fun to browse. Bath England has some distinctive shops where you can find unusual bits and pieces to beautify your house and garden You don't have to spend too much to achieve a new look and, best of all, you don't have to be a size 10!

If you have always associated recycling with thick, grubby-looking paper, the colourful stock in Greenhouse will come as a pleasant surprise! From cheerful chickens made in Africa from plastic waste to soft Spanish rugs which can be machine-washed to chunky stationery which tells you on the cover what it was in a previous life, there is plenty here to tempt you to buy gifts for yourself or others, including jewellery, clocks and housewares. This Bath home shop has a sister in Lemon Street Market in Truro - I keep finding Cornish connections in the city!
