A crisp morning in Bath opens like a page of a well-read novel: the River Avon slips past stone bridges that have watched centuries of footsteps, and the pale honey of Bath Stone glows under low sun. Start at Terrace Walk and let the city unfold — Pulteney Bridge’s arches lean over water that dares you to follow its curve, while the Royal Crescent sits like a slow, deliberate bow to Georgian order.
