During my time in Bath I studied the history of Bath, its architects and residents who made this UNESCO World Heritage City a historical jewel. The legacy of Jane Austen’s writing and reading her novels inspired me to gain extensive knowledge about her time before and while she lived in Bath and after leaving Bath as well as the significance Bath had on her writing.

Jane Austen Centre’s internal tour guides
Pulteney Bridge
Here is where we meet. The Pulteney Bridge is a replica of the Ponte Veccio in Florence with shops lining both sides and was designed in 1769. We continue along Argyle Street and stop to looking at Laura Place and Great Pulteney Street. This stop takes about 15 minutes during which the magnificant town house architecture Great Pulteney Street is explained and its famous residents in the 18th and 19th century. The Holburne Museum of Art is visible from this stop. A walk along Pulteney Street towards the Holburn Museum can be undertaken and at the same time viewing the front of No. 4 Sydney Place where a name plaque commemorates Jane Austens first dwelling in Bath (no admission, museum or centre).

A tour through the centre can be booked separately by guests , however my tour does include entering the centre free of charge and visiting the book shop .

Do not go to the Jane Austen Centre pictured on the ads. We made the mistake of thinking it commenced there, so missed the tour.

Really good tour with a very knowledgeable guide. A fair amount of walking and some steep steps (both in the description prior to booking) if that’s a concern.

Great knowledge of Bath, Jane Austen and the Beatles. The best bit explaining the planning and building of the Circle.
