Jane Austen's family had close connections with Bath. She visited Bath a number of times before living here for several years. Bath is a World Heritage City and one reason it was awarded this status is that it is the best-preserved Georgian city, many parts of which Jane would recognize. The two novels in which much of the action takes place in Bath are , 'Northanger Abbey' and 'Persuasion'. The streets and buildings Jane writes about are mostly still here as are the houses she stayed or lived in. In the tour, we will walk in Jane's footsteps and I will show you Jane's Bath, bring it to life and entertain you with extracts from her novels and diaries. The tour combines a general City Highlights tour of Bath.
The tour will include • Pump Room • Bathing Establishments • Assembly Rooms • Circus • Royal Crescent • Pulteney Street and Bridge • Sydney Gardens • Abbey • Queen Square • Film locations • The houses Jane lived in and placed her characters in. We will see all the places from outside and they are all short stops. I will quote from the novels and Jane's diaries at the appropriate places. You may wish to visit the Jane Austen Centre before or after the tour or take tea in one of the places I can recommend. When the weather is clear there is an option to take a short taxi ride up to a fantastic viewpoint, which Jane wrote about. The cost is about £15 extra per taxi. If time allows, the church in which her parents married and where her father is buried may be viewed . If your walking ability is limited, some of the distances can be covered by taxi. Do let me know any special wishes as I am happy to accommodate them.
