This walking tour in Bath lasts about two hours and is led by a Blue Badge Tourist Guide, the UK's only fully qualified and insured guide recognized by the Institute of Tourist Guiding. The tour begins in front of Bath Abbey, where the guide shares stories about this Gothic church and the earlier churches on the site, along with an overview of Bath's history to introduce the walk. From Bath Abbey, the route continues to Queen Square, highlighting its architecture and the damage it sustained during World War II in 1942. Next, the tour visits No. 1 Royal Crescent, focusing on its architecture and cultural background, followed by The Circus, where further architectural details and historical stories are explained. The walk then moves to Pulteney Bridge, discussing its design, history, nearby river views, and its use in films. Sally Lunn's Museum is another stop where the guide covers its building and stories connected to it. Returning to Bath Abbey, the guide reviews its Gothic and Romanesque features, clarifies the difference between an abbey and a cathedral, and offers a chance for questions. The final part of the tour concludes outside the Roman Baths, where the entrance is viewed and the Roman occupation of the city, known as Aqua Sulis, is discussed.
