There’s also a captivating choice of guided walking tours that trace the footsteps of Jane Austen in Bath. These tours offer a fascinating journey through the city's streets, highlighting where she lived and the places that inspired her novels.
As you stroll along the charming avenues and alleyways, you'll discover The Assembly Rooms, home to opulent ballrooms that evoke scenes of grand dances and genteel social gatherings, transporting you directly into the pages of "Northanger Abbey" and "Persuasion."
A particular highlight of the tours is a visit to the Royal Crescent, a stunning architectural masterpiece that captures the essence of Georgian elegance. This iconic crescent-shaped row of townhouses showcases the architectural splendour that Austen's characters would have admired and aspired to.
The city's thermal baths, a marvel of engineering and nature, offer a unique opportunity to experience the same soothing waters that drew visitors during Austen's time. A trip to the Roman Baths is a must, where you can explore the ancient ruins and immerse yourself in the history that Austen's characters might have encountered.
