The Bath City Walls are a significant historical landmark that encompasses the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage city, tracing a path that dates back to the Roman period. While much of the visible structure today dates from the medieval era, the walls stand on the foundations of the ancient Roman settlement of Aquae Sulis. Walking the circuit of the walls provides a unique perspective on Bath’s complex urban history, from its origin as a defensive stronghold to its evolution into a grand Georgian spa city. They remain an essential social and recreational part of the city’s heritage, offering visitors a profound link to the defensive past that shaped the modern layout of Bath.
