A short walk along river avon will give you the chance to get a short overview, make some pictures and enjoy the landscape. I started at Pulteney bridge, descending via a small staircase on the southern part of the bridge. You will see one or two cafés and a couple of banks where you can sit down for a few minutes. From the banks, you will have a good view on the Weir system which was built in 1972 to regulate water level.
Continuing on the left bank, the next notable place is North Parade Bridge. It was built as an iron bridge in 1836, but 100 years later, it was replaced by the current stone bridge.
The final point of my walk was the footbridge which leads to the central station. The walk took me half an hour. It can be reduced to twenty minutes, if you do not wish to sit down and enjoy a sandwhich you bought a couple of hours ago in London. The same goes for other time-consuming and relaxing activities.
For information about Pulteney bridge, please check out my tip about the bridge. Leave a Comment Directions: Start at Pulteney bridge, and look out for the stair leading to the river. Continue to walk on the bank until you don't like to walk anymore.

The city has a picturesque river scene of bridges that were modeled after Remaissance Florence. Nice stopover to take some photos if the weather holds.
Bath is also famous for being the residence of the famous author Jane Austen.

 Parade Gardens in Bath,
England... by coceng
Throughout The Middle Ages, Bath was served as an ecclesiastical centre & also a wool-trading town.
After checking-in, I went out on my own & the first photo that I took after checking in at The Backpacker's Inn was The Parade Gardens...
This beautiful garden is situated just next to Avon River. Leave a Comment
