      ‘Bath is not only one of the best cities in the world to explore on foot; it is also surrounded on all sides by unspoilt countryside whose beauty is matched by its variety.’ This new edition of the best-selling walking guide to the city does full justice to that unique inheritance. As well as featuring its main attractions, it leads the reader to hidden corners and panoramic views over Bath and beyond. As well as tracing some of Jane Austen’s expeditions around the city, it also looks at the rigours of eighteenth-century social life, the architecture of John Wood and his successors, the city’s industrial heritage and the story of how window tax affected the design of its buildings. Finally, a postscript looks at the transformation of the city since the opening of Thermae Bath Spa in 2006. This new edition has not only been fully revised and updated; the opportunity has also been taken to improve some of the walks. As a result, the first walk now includes a visit to a newly accessible courtyard overlooked by one of Bath’s finest buildings, Walk 5 includes a riverside path and Walk 9 takes advantage of a recently-opened path with superb views. Walk 10 has been rerouted across a new footbridge to the historic Newark Works, and several other walks have been rerouted to include hidden gems or follow paths through green fields rather than city streets. Much new information has also been included, along with many new photographs.
