Bath Spa 1

Abbey to Circus
Listen to a classical guitarist perhaps, or
an opera singer, performing in front of
the magnificent Bath Abbey, before
navigating your way past ancient
Roman Baths, and an 18th century ‘water
hospital’. Walk along narrow streets and
walkways crammed with history to a
bustling square, then into beautiful
gardens with tantalising views of Royal
Crescent. Finally, arrive at The Circus, a
truly unique example of outstanding
Georgian architecture (1.5 miles).

Circus to Royal Crescent
From The Circus you head back into
the city, and some interesting shops,
before looping back past a medieval
church and the site of a 16th century
school. Next is the ‘most noble and
elegant’ Assembly Rooms, once at the
heart of fashionable Georgian society,
before arriving back, briefly, at The
Circus. Finally you make your way to
Royal Crescent, one of the finest
achievements of 18th century urban
architecture (1 mile).
