City of Bath Guides

This is a BRIDGERTON film location tour from me, a long standing guide in Bath with 25 years of experience. We will see all of the following:

• Lady Danbury's house - The Duke in residence
• The Featheringtons' abode
• The Gunter's tea shop
• Lady Dee's Hat Emporium
• Modiste's dress shop
• Siena's dwelling
• The Market
• plus so much more!

We promenade the cobbled streets of Bath cleverly disguised as Grosvenor Square London unfolding the story of BRIDGERTON with references to all the other locations used to bring the wonderful Regency story to life.

I will include actual historical anecdotes to enhance this (Bath has been used for Jane Austen productions, Sherlock & Vanity Fair to mention some others). My tour guide delivery will be upbeat and entertaining, not just facts, hopefully to make your engaging and fun.

Many photo stops will be possible during the tour as I fully explain the locations and where they appeared in BRIDGERTON.

This is A SMALL GROUP TOUR - for you/your group mixing only with pre booked clients but often your group alone.. The Bath Abbey, Roman Baths & Pump Rooms explained (ADMISSION NOT INCLUDED).

We pass Sally Lunn's Bath's oldest house & tea shop, the Pulteney Bridge and Guildhall Market. We explore the old medieval alleys of Bath leading to the old city wall From here we can explore Georgian Bath properly with Queen Square, The Circus with Assembly Rooms before taking in John Wood's masterpiece,The Royal Crescent.

Many great photo opportunities available en route, some recent film sets where applicable(i am a Bridgerton expert). A stroll downhill passing The Jane Austen Centre & Bath Thermae will return us to the Abbey & Roman Baths where the tour would end. Any other central place can be arranged easily.

I personally escape from Bath to the Cotswolds as often as I can to absorb the tranquil peace & quiet of this splendidly English surroundings.

I will show you all I have found from 25 years plus of opening people's eyes to this unique countryside and villages.

Discover the area of outstanding natural beauty and the area Prince Charles chooses to live. The Cotswolds are locked in time unchanged for centuries. We will explore villages and towns each more stunning than the last one, an abundance of old bridges, market squares, village pubs, Norman churches and Manor houses. You really get to feel Old England during the medieval times when The Lord was master over all.

A great way to go back in time and be completely absorbed in England's past.

The route follows almost THE FOSSE WAY - an old straight Roman road initially from Exeter to Lincoln built in the 2nd Century AD.

The attack of Bath is not generally publicized and many current residents are substantially uninformed. If you are interested in a specific part of Bath's past then this tour uncovers many unknown locations and facts about Bath in World War 2, The MoD(N) & RAF, then this will fascinate you. Some photos where available will bring the devastation to life. How & why this happened of these short 3 days, changed Bath forever.
