This tour starts at the Visit Bath Information Centre. Katie and Colm will give you an overview of what to expect on this tour including the development of Bath and its early history up to the end of the 17th century.   You will then meander down to look down towards the river Avon and the spectacular view of Parade Gardens and surrounding hills as Katie sets the scene of Bath in 800BC and the legend of King Bladud.   After taking in the view, you will go past one of Bath’s major institutions - Sally Lunn’s tea shop – a key point of interest on our Jane Austen tour. The tea shops have become a key part of Bath’s history as it became a fashionable spa town.   Next, you stop at Bath’s most famous landmark – the Roman Baths – formed shortly after the Romans arrival.   Around the corner from the Roman Baths is Bath Abbey – you discover how the Baths youre forgotten, how Bath changed during the Saxon period, the Christianisation of the country, Abbey foundation and crowning of King Edgar the Peaceful in 973AD – the birth of England!    As you continue through Bath, you reach St John’s Hospital – a hospital steeped in history, particularly during medieval life in Bath.   You then reach the Cross Bath – Colm and Katie will tell the story of Mary of Modena and Bath’s reluctant role in the Glorious Revolution 1688!    Finally, you finish at Bath Thermae Spa where you can explore the Spa for yourself and “take the waters”
