About this activity

This self-guided audio walking tour of Bath will open your eyes to a hidden world of yesteryear. Following the line of the ancient city wall, you'll hear about people who have walked this route before you. They include the Celtic Britons and French Normans, along with the Saxons, Vikings and yes, everyone's favourites, the Romans. Why not 'lend me your ears' for a walk and talk covering 1700 years?

You'll hear about:

How the Romans joined two Goddesses together
When one river becomes two
A funny story of a French girl and her secret recipe
Bath’s hidden cathedral
Burial sites beneath Bath Abbey
What remains of the ancient wall and what was thrown from it
The only true hot water springs in Britain
A famous Bath delicacy or two and some ideas of great gifts

And so much more!! - so allow 1 -1.5 hours for the walk and more if you visit the Abbey and the Roman Baths.
