Traveler reviews
Ann Katherine Fonte-Castro
★★★★★3 weeks agoMust be included in your itinerary when you visit Bath with your significant other. It is nice to be in the same place Anne Elliot reconciliated with Capt. Frederick Wentworth in Persuasion and reinact the scene in the movie.
Trudi Matthews
★★★★★4 years agoThis lovely path goes to the Royal Crescent from downtown Bath. Beautiful to walk. It is also the walk that Anne Elliott and Captain Wentworth travel in Jane Austen’s Persuasion.
