Uncover Hidden Bath on a Self-Guided Audio Walk

Step beyond Bath’s busiest streets and discover quiet gardens, hidden riverside paths and stories most visitors never hear.

This experience is part of City Uncovered: Bath, taking place from 1st–14th June 2026 — a limited-time series of unique, under-the-radar experiences designed to help you see the city differently.

Starting near Bath Abbey, this self-guided audio walking tour takes you away from the crowded city centre and into some of Bath’s most beautiful and overlooked corners. Guided by immersive audio narration, you’ll follow a carefully curated route along the River Avon, through the elegant Pulteney Estate and into the peaceful surroundings of Sydney Gardens and the Kennet & Avon Canal.

Along the way, you’ll uncover hidden details and unexpected stories woven into the landscape around you. Discover why there’s a mysterious stone temple hidden inside a park, how Bath’s river got its name, and what pigs have to do with a historic sundial. As you wander through grand Georgian boulevards, leafy gardens and waterside walkways, you’ll experience a quieter, slower side of the city that many visitors miss completely.

Walk at your own pace, pause wherever you like, and uncover Bath through storytelling, history and hidden corners.
