Classic view in Bath City Centre

Bath is well known for its Georgian architecture and the walk will take in a number of classic locations like the Royal Crescent, the Abbey and Great Pulteney Street. 

Royal Crescent

Tunnel House

 

There will also be some 'hidden' locations, off the tourist trails, where you can photograph some of the more 'industrial' parts of the city, railway bridges, arches and canal locks, and some of the more modern buildings.

Holbourne Museum

Gardens Wall

Bath Station Underpass

All over the city there are interesting architectural features for those who prefer a more abstract approach. If time allows, there may be an opportunity to head for some higher ground for some views over the city and, if you bring a long lens, some interesting roofscapes.

The leader has lived in Bath for 30 years and knows the city well and can adapt the walk to fit in any specific requests (within reason!).
