Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
Pass by
Start your walk at the Abbey Churchyard — just open Ciceru nearby to begin exploring the steaming heart of ancient Aquae Sulis, where Romans mixed theology, plumbing, and the occasional curse tablet.
2
Stand before the Gothic “Lantern of the West,” a glass-heavy masterpiece where angels climb stone ladders inspired by a bishop’s dream or possibly his wine.
3
Stop 3
Pass by
Pause at the 1482 building selling Bath’s most famous bun — part medieval home, part marketing myth, with a Roman heating system simmering beneath your feet.
4
Look down at Bath’s Georgian flirtation grounds, once reserved for polite society, now shared by picnickers, geese, and the city’s most famous Roman drain.
5
Cross the boutique-lined bridge built less for romance and more for real estate ambition, a Georgian homage to Palladio disguised as a shopping street.
6
Stop 6
Stroll Bath’s historic catwalk, where Georgian elites once shopped, gossiped, and staged social theatre long before Jane Austen wrote them into satire.
7
Stop 7
Pass by
Stand outside the elegant townhouse celebrating Bath’s most reluctant resident, who disliked the city but turned its society into perfect novelistic fodder.
8
Stop 8
Walk the Druids-meet-Rome circle designed by John Wood, a 318-foot architectural key featuring three classical orders and a roofline dotted with stone acorns.
9
Wrap up your tour at the Royal Crescent. Take a moment to admire the sweeping Palladian curve, the elegant “Ha-Ha” lawn, and the grandest real estate flex in 18th-century Britain.
