A Tour of Austen's Bath

2025 is a significant year for Jane Austen fans, as it marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of the famous author. Bath was hugely significant in Austen’s life. She lived with her family in Bath for five years, and two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, have a host of scenes set in the fashionable spa resort. 

Led by an expert Blue Badge-qualified guide from Fred Mawer Tours, this entertaining and informative private two-hour walking tour will take in places around Bath where Jane Austen and her family lived and frequented, and that feature in the novels. You’ll also discover locations in the city used in TV and film adaptations of Austen’s works, and learn about what Bath was like in Regency times when the writer lived in the city.
