Weekend Guide to Bath: A Short History
I really believe I shall always be talking of Bath, when I am at home again–I do like it so very much…. Oh! Who can ever be tired of Bath?”
jane austen Northanger abbey
Jane Austen fans will be familiar with her writings about Bath in Northanger Abbey and just how accurate it is once it has been experienced.
From the Romans, who named Bath, Aquae Silus to the elite society folk of King George III reign, Bath was the place to be seen, especially if you were looking for a husband. Many social gatherings to find the perfect match occurred in locations like The Pump Rooms, where Austen herself as well as Charles Dickens took afternoon tea, The Assembly Rooms was home to where Jane Austen would have had afternoon tea as well as Sidney Gardens, which was a great popular place for those courting to walk with their chaperones. Bridgerton fans, will recall such scenes from the Netflix series.
Founded by the Romans, Bath became known for its wool industry in the Middle Ages after which during the reigns of King George I, II and III, the city was made into an elegant town featuring the neoclassical architecture we associate with Bath today. Many historical development during the times have always centred around the thermal baths with the notable temple of Minerva Sulis being located in the Roman Baths, at the heart of the city’s highlights.

Weekend Guide to Bath: How to Get Around the City
Walking around Bath is the most convenient way of getting around the city. You’ll find that cars and buses cannot gain access to the cobbled stone streets and monuments. The majority of things you’ll want to see and do are located within a compact space and for more hilly locations, local buses are regular, every 20 minutes into the city centre.

When To Visit Bath
The locals would recommend anytime between September-October as the quirky lanes and landmarks are quieter and can be enjoyed without the crowds and queues to attractions as well as having access to the best dining spots without booking too much in advance. The weather is pretty mild too so you can enjoy the outdoor spaces.
We would also recommend going during the festive season when a full on Christmas village style market lines the streets as well the twinkle of classy lights and mistle-toe glistening against the Georgian facades, makes for a beautiful backdrop.
Bath really can be a year round destination, depending upon what you plan to do but bare in mind summer will always be very busy.
How Long to Plan your Bath Visit
The length of time spent here depends on what you plan to do. A long weekend or two-three nights is perfect to give you plenty of time to visit all the points of interest in a leisurely manner including maybe some day trips to Bradford upon-Avon and Bristol. It’s also a great length of time to hang-out at some of the local food and drink establishments.
The Ultimate Weekend Guide to Bath
There is much to do and see in Bath and one of the things that is apparent form the outset is the focus the city puts on sustainability. Many of the recommendations featured support local independent businesses but also keep the city’s heritage alive via visitors.
Bath Abbey
A place of Christian worship for well over a thousand years and now a popular place to visit for both worshippers and visitors, Bath Abbey takes prime position in the centre adjacent to the Roman Baths.

The Abbey is an extraordinary example of Norman perpendicular Gothic architecture dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period.

Be-lavie Tip: Join the tower tour, running every hour from 10:00-16:00. Fee of £10 per person.

A highlight of visiting the Abbey is to climb the 212 steps up the tower with a stop halfway, including a stop in the bell chamber.

Pulteney Bridge
Being one of only four bridges in the world with shops on it, the others being in Florence, Pulteney Bridge is most definitley one of Baths memorable landmarks. It was built in 1769 over the River Avon with a weir underneath it.

The Crescent is notable for being home to a few celebrities including Nicholas Cage and Johnny Depp. But also the artist Thomas Gainsborough, who lived at No 17 between 1259-1774.

The Holburne Museum
When in Bath, The Holburne Museum is another one of those must-visit places. Starting life as a Georgian villa hotel, it is now home to some impressive 17th and 18th century British artworks by the likes of Sir William Hulburne and Thomas Hoare.

The Assembly Rooms & The Fashion Museum
Another hub of Georgian socialite life, was The Assembly Rooms. The beautiful chandelier, pillared balconies are synonymous of a venue that held balls where eligible men and women would dance in anticipation of courtship and marriage as an end goal.
Today on the ground floor of the Assemble Rooms is The Fashion Museum with a display of contemporary and historic dress. The crux of the displays is to chart the history of Bath through objects and clothes. The Museum is open every day and tickets start at £8.55 for adults

Prior Park
Most definitely a local secret, Prior Park, and it’s no wonder as this is an 18th century magical garden paradise. It’s located on a hill and can make a great walk out of the city of Bath, with beautiful unparalleled views of the rolling hills, not to mention those Georgian rooftops and facades.
The star of the show at Priory Park, is the Palladian Bridge and mansion set against the most idyllic backdrop. It was originally designed by Ralph Allen in 1734 to show off his wealth and now the stone used to make it forms many houses in Bath.

Shopping In Bath
If you’re a fan of independent shops and cute and quirky artefacts, the best place to go and support local is Milson Street. Pricier independent shops and boutiques can also be found on the Pulteney Bridge itself.
For shopping needs, the best things to do is walk the side streets and cobble-stoned streets and discover the numerous bakeries, cafes, delis, independents, from clothing through to artefacts to boutique.
A few shopping spots that were recommended to us in Bath:
- Walcot Street and Artisan Area (Bath’s artisan quarter since the 1960’s)
- Upper City – George street, Bartlett Street and Marlborough Buildings (Independent retailers)
- SouthGate (Big fashion brands and multi-national cuisine spots)
- Green Park Station (Saturday farmer’s market and Sunday Flea market) – the one we missed.

Guildhall Market
The Guild Hall is an indoor market filled with some interesting stalls. The Guildhall Market is housed in a beautiful building being established since 1284.

For fresh produce the Guild Hall is recommended as it has a market selling speciality teas, wild boar pate, fresh fruit and Veg. Along with craft stalls, leather goods, books and pet stalls. For cheese lovers head to Nibbles Cheese to sample some local and international delights as well as Bath Leather Goods that have the most beautiful leather accessories.

Georgian Garden
The re-creation of an eighteenth century town garden behind 4 Circus was a bit of a hidden gem. It is the first project of its kind to have taken place in Britain. The skills of the archivist, archaeologist and garden historian have together have combined an interesting urban garden space.

The Jane Austen Centre
The Jane Austen Centre
Activity Spotlight
Full Disclosure: Our visit to the Jane Austen Centre was was in collaboration with Visit bath. All opinions and views are honest and together with all photography remains a copyright of Be-lavie.
Literary fans of the life and works of the lady herself, cannot miss The Jane Austen Centre.
The centre offers well thought out experience of life in the Regency times from fashion, food and society that may have been the inspiration behind Austen’s novels. :This is definitely worth adding to your weekend guide to Bath list, especially for all literature fans, who love the works of Jane Austen.

The centre delves into how Bath as a city impacted novels such as Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. It is housed in a classical, Georgian townhouse where your experience starts with a warm welcome from a knowledgeable guide whereby you are introduced to Austen’s world, from a short biography to learning of her family tree and books. You are then free to wander through the rest of the exhibition on the ground floor at your own pace.
The history captured and projected at the centre makes for a great experience. Stand beside a life size model of Mr Darcy in Pride & Prejudice and try on one of the many period costumes available from bonnets, shawls, fans, grand dresses, and top hats. Have fun and snap some photos of your visit with the help of the friendly guides and staff. You will find them too in period dress and very helpful in answering all your queries.


Try your hand at quill pen writing as one of the interactive activates offered and finally marvel the life-size wax-work statue of Jane Austen at the end of the exhibition. The waxwork took three years to create headed by an experienced sculptor and forensic artist based on eyewitness descriptions and sketches by Cassandra Austen’s older sister. A truly poignant end to the visit to be able to see how Austen would’ve looked like, before her early death, aged 41.

After the exhibition, visit the on-site gift shop for some truly original gifts or head up to the Regency Tea Rooms to experience a delicious afternoon tea and reminisce your time getting up close and personal with this marvellous Jane Austen life exhibition.
