Overview

This self-guided audio walking tour of Bath will open your eyes to a hidden world of yesteryear. Following the line of the ancient city wall, you'll hear about people who have walked this route before you. They include the Celtic Britons and French Normans, along with the Saxons, Vikings and yes, everyone's favourites, the Romans. Why not 'lend me your ears' for a walk and talk covering 1700 years?

You'll hear about:
• How the Romans joined two Goddesses together
• When one river becomes two
• A funny story of a French girl and her secret recipe
• Bath’s hidden cathedral
• Burial sites beneath Bath Abbey
• What remains of the ancient wall and what was thrown from it
• The only true hot water springs in Britain
• A famous Bath delicacy or two and some ideas of great gifts

And so much more!! - so allow 1 -1.5 hours for the walk and more if you visit the Abbey and the Roman Baths.

The guide was knowledgeable and taught me plenty about Bath. The app though was less successful. 4 or 5 times it said I'd wondered off course - even when I was walking next to the red line - which often joined the points on the route with a straight line and so went through buildings and so was impossible to stay on. Other times we'd walk straight over a narrative point and then have to back track and trigger it manually. Other times we'd be standing right on top of the marker - but still no narrative. Pocket mode did work occasionally, so the phone was configured correctly, but most of the time I had to keep the phone in my hand and trigger the narratives manually.

Finding Sally Lunn tea rooms and looking around the Abbey, Parade gardens were good as the grounds were immaculate, I couldn't get into the Roman baths as did not have an eticket
