3. The journey from the Abbey Courtyard to York Street takes you through Kingston Parade, which in reality is more of a square than a promenade as its name suggests. This is a popular place for people to gather and relax, with magnificent views of the cathedral and Roman Baths.

4. North Parade Passage, formerly known as Old Lilliput Lane, is one of the few examples of pre-Georgian architecture in Bath. Most of the timber-framed houses have been rebuilt over the centuries, but Sally Lunn’s (number 4 North Parade Passage) still has its timber-framework.

    10 min

About Bath

Bath, in the west of England, is a Georgian spa city of honey-coloured stone, built around natural hot springs first used by the Romans.

Bath's hot springs were first enclosed by the Romans, who built a temple and bathhouse complex here in the first century, now the Roman Baths museum beside Bath Abbey. In the eighteenth century the city rebuilt itself as a fashionable spa in pale local limestone, and the terraces and crescents designed by John Wood the Elder and the Younger, including the Circus and the Royal Crescent, give it its look. The whole city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
