Free afternoon in Bath
Details
After your guided morning activities, Jane Austen fans have a delightful afternoon to explore Bath at leisure, using the hop-on hop-off bus to see the city’s highlights at your own pace. Step off at the Roman Baths to immerse yourself in the city’s ancient history, where the thermal waters and fascinating artifacts bring Roman Britain to life. Stroll across Pulteney Bridge and along the River Avon, soaking in the Georgian architecture and charming riverside views, or stop at Bath Abbey to admire its soaring Gothic arches and intricate stained glass.
For a quintessentially Regency experience, indulge in afternoon tea at one of Bath’s elegant cafés, such as Sally Lunn’s Historic Eating House, enjoying scones, finger sandwiches, and fine teas in a setting Austen herself would have recognized. Fashion and literature lovers can wander the independent shops of Milsom Street and SouthGate, from artisan boutiques to bookshops, or take a peaceful walk through Royal Victoria Park, with its gardens, ponds, and leafy avenues.
By 5:30 pm, make your way to No. 1 Royal Crescent (a stop on the hop-on hop-off bus) for the next experience, arriving refreshed from a perfectly balanced afternoon of culture, history, and Georgian charm.
