I will have one day in England on Saturday, June 1st. I was in England last year but chose to go somewhere else.
Will it be overcrowded and I maybe I should find something else to do?
Bath would be my first choice, but I would also like to revisit Dover Castle. I was on a tour that did a terrible job there last year, and I wouldn't mind getting a better look at it. I could also hang out in London, as there are always things to do there.

Bath does get busy on Saturdays but it should be ok. Get an early start and you’ll be out before the crowds. The main shopping areas are the busiest part, especially near the Roman Baths. There’s plenty of room once you get up to the Royal Crescent and in the parks.
Thank you.
I plan on being there when the Roman Baths open and hope to spend a complete day there, maybe leaving around 20:00.
Any suggestions on good places to eat there?
Never had a bad meal in Bath, but one of our favorites is The Scallop Shell. Will eat there again on next trip.
I personally think Bath is far for a day trip from London, especially if you want to get out to the sites before the crowds. That said, I loved Bath and is worth at least an overnight.
It is what it is. I only have a single day in the country. So it's go to London for the 5th time or Dover Castle for the 2nd time. Not interested in many of the other tourist items. So that leaves me to sit in my hotel or get a taste of a great city that I may come back to.
Easy choice.

I think Bath works fine as a day trip from London. The train is very easy and Bath has quite a small centre which you can easily explore within a day.
I quite often go the other way and do a day trip to London. It’s a fairly long day but for some of it you’re just sitting down on the train and it’s not difficult or stressful.
