More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Start on Kingston Parade beside Bath Abbey and feel the city shift under your feet: honey-coloured Georgian stone, the slow curve of the River Avon, and cobbled lanes that reward the curious. The Bath Quest app turns those streets into a series of puzzles, each solved by observation and a little local know-how. As you move from the Abbey toward the Royal Crescent and back to the Roman Baths, the city begins to speak — in masonry, in plaques, in the occasional ghost-story overheard in a doorway.

History
Bath grew from a Roman spa built around natural hot springs and was reshaped in the 18th century into a model of Georgian town planning using locally quarried Bath Stone.
Conservation
High foot traffic stresses narrow streets and heritage façades — stick to public paths, avoid touching fragile masonry, and dispose of litter to protect the city’s historic fabric.
