Overview

Bath is officially both a World Heritage Site and one of the Great Spa Towns of Europe.

We will pass some of its revered landmarks, as well as some of its lesser-known gems including the place where two greats in their artistic fields, one historic and one contemporary, once lived, and hear more about their connections to Bath.

The walk features parks and gardens, crescents, lanes and footpaths, river and canal side paths, and crosses bridges.
