Bath Tourist Map: Roman Baths, Georgian Streets and Walking Route
We are Ana and Kevin, and Bath is a city where a map should stop you from zigzagging. The Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, Royal Crescent, The Circus, Pulteney Bridge, Parade Gardens, river paths and Bath Spa station are all close enough to walk, but they belong to different layers. This Bath tourist map keeps the Roman core, Georgian streets and river route easy to read.

Roman Baths, Bath Abbey and the historic core
The Roman Baths and Bath Abbey are the strongest first anchors. We would place them at the centre of the route, then decide whether you want to add museums, shopping streets, the river or Georgian architecture before choosing where to stay.
Royal Crescent, The Circus and Georgian Bath
Royal Crescent and The Circus should be read as the Georgian layer of the map. They are not far from the core, but they pull the route uphill and west, so add them as a deliberate loop rather than a quick afterthought.
Pulteney Bridge, Parade Gardens and river views
Pulteney Bridge gives Bath a clean river orientation point. It works well after the Abbey/Roman Baths core, especially if you want Parade Gardens, river views, Great Pulteney Street or a softer finish to the walk.
Station arrival, SouthGate and practical walking order
Bath Spa station sits close enough to walk into the centre, but the first ten minutes shape the day. If you arrive by train, use SouthGate and the Abbey area as the practical arrival layer before deciding whether the Georgian loop comes before or after the river.
Bath surroundings and short add-ons
Bath can be paired with countryside walks, Bristol, the Cotswolds or wider southwest England, but this page keeps the city map self-contained. Do not use London as the parent by default; Bath deserves its own walking-map route.
Suggested Bath Walking Routes from the Map
Classic half day: Bath Spa station, Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, Pulteney Bridge, river view and a short central shopping or cafe stop.
Full day route: Roman Baths and Abbey, Pulteney Bridge, Royal Crescent, The Circus, Parade Gardens and enough slow time for meals or museums.
Georgian architecture route: build the walk around Royal Crescent, The Circus, Queen Square and connecting streets, then return to the Roman core.
Rain-friendly route: keep the Roman Baths, Abbey, museums and covered food stops close to the map, then use dry gaps for Royal Crescent and the river.
Where to Stay in Bath for Easy Map Routes
For a first visit, compare Bath city centre, near Bath Spa station, around Royal Crescent/The Circus and the river or Pulteney Bridge side. City centre is best for sightseeing, the station side is practical, the Georgian side feels quieter, and the river side works well for views and slower evenings.
