7 Bridges in Bath That You Shouldn't Miss

December 31, 2021 Agatha Simes

Known for its restorative wonders, Bath was once the home of Jane Austen. Sure, you could attempt to conjure up this elegant city by reading Pride and Prejudice in your tub, but as Bath has a lot more history than your bathroom (we assume, anyway) you'd be missing out. A stroll through Bath is like visiting an open-air museum, with roughly 5,000 buildings in the city drawing notice for their architectural merit. After your stroll, soak in the natural hot waters of the Thermae Bath Spa, once a favorite of the Celts and Romans.

Pulteney Bridge

One of only three bridges in the world lined with shops, this exquisite 18th-century bridge is one of the most admired structures in Bath.

For those who are familiar with the film Les Miserables in which Javert, played by Russell Crowe, jumped to his death, will be delighted to discover that the bridge of Javert's demise is actually located in Bath . It is, I suggest, best approached via the toe path along the river. As you round the bend the bridge springs into view. If you continue to the bridge, you can ascend the stairs and emerge on the bridge to discover a wide range of interesting shops and cafes. Well worth exploring, without the need to visit Paris.

Batheaston Toll Bridge

Reviewed By amyb146 - Lincoln, United Kingdom

we stayed in the hotel next to this toll. while there are no obvious signs to alert you to be existence of the toll and no card option it’s still a lovely little piece of heritage. we didn’t experience any of the rudeness that others have mentioned in their reviews. we also had a walk across the bridge while we were there. set within a beautiful setting. Loved the old sign!
