Fodor's Review:
The one place in Bath that gives Austen any space provides a briefly diverting exhibition about the influence of the city on her writings; Northanger Abbey and Persuasion are both set primarily in the city. Displays give a pictorial introduction, and the digitally enlarged panorama of Bath in 1800 by Robert Havell helps put Austen's world in context. The cozy Georgian house, a few doors up from where the writer lived in 1805 (one of several addresses she had in Bath at different times), also includes the Austen-themed Regency Tearoom, open to the public. You can buy tickets here for Jane Austen walking tours, which leave from the Abbey Churchyard at 11 on weekends. A tour ticket entitles you to a 20% reduction for entry to the exhibition.
- Cost: £5.95, tours £4.50
- Open: Mar.-Oct., daily 10-5:30; Nov.-Feb., Sun.-Fri. 11-4:30, Sat 10-5:30
