Oh, who can ever be tired of Bath? - A Walking Tour

Jane Austen lived in Bath for several years and wrote two novels which are largely set in the city. In these, she presents Bath as a fashionable spa resort where well-to-do people flocked to take the waters and improve their health, as well as to enjoy the society and entertainment with which it overflowed. Our three-hour walking tour explores the elegant buildings she helped to make famous in "Northanger Abbey" and Persuasion", such as the Pump Room, the Royal Circus and the Assembly Rooms, Milsom Street's shops and the Theatre Royal. The tour could include a visit to the Jane Austen Centre with its Regency Tea Room or to Number One, the Royal Crescent - a museum of Regency Bath. Each of these visits would add another thirty minutes or so to the tour, with no additional guiding fee.
