Explore Bath and Environs

So, you’ve booked your room at The Queensberry. Excellent choice. What next? If you’re visiting a new city, especially somewhere as storied and beautiful as Bath — knowing where to begin can feel a little daunting. There’s history at every turn, grand architecture around every corner, and rather more tempting cafés than any sensible itinerary allows.Fred Mawer.

Fred offers thoughtful, privately guided walking tours designed around you whether you’d like to tick off the icons or discover Bath’s lesser-known corners. Expect the famous weir, honey-coloured crescents, hidden lanes, architectural gems such as the Royal Crescent, and stories you simply wouldn’t find in a guidebook.

A long-time resident and travel journalist, Fred knows the city inside out and can craft personal itineraries that help you make the very most of your weekend break in Bath or longer city escape, from historic highlights to countryside adventures further afield in the South West. Prices start from £130 per group for a private two-hour walking tour of Bath.

After all, the very best Bath city breaks aren’t rushed. They’re wandered.

And it’s rather nice to have someone show you the way.
