About this tour

You'll receive a downloadable PDF guide and interactive map to navigate at your own rhythm, pausing for refreshment whenever you choose.

What to expect
You'll receive a digital package via email containing a written guide and an interactive map. Download both before leaving your accommodation, as Wi-Fi access may be sparse on route. The walk is flat and manageable for all fitness levels, taking you past Bath's most distinctive Georgian facades whilst linking literary connections and local anecdotes. Expect to spend anywhere from one to two hours depending on how often you stop—for tea, to photograph a particular corner, or to browse a shop—making this a genuinely self-paced experience rather than a rigid itinerary.
Good to know
Download your materials on Wi-Fi beforehand. Entry fees to attractions like the Theatre Royal or The Pump Room are separate and must be purchased on-site. Public transport connects easily to the walking route. The tour suits all fitness levels; however, some streets are cobbled.
