Jane Austen Trail in Sydney Gardens

4 Sydney Place, Bathwick, Bath, BA2 6NF

Type:Walking Tour

About

Explore Jane Austen's relationship with the Georgian Pleasure Gardens. Jane lived just across the road at No 4 Sydney Place between 1801 and 1804 and wrote of Sydney Gardens both in letters and several of her novels (Persuasion and Northanger Abbey). Diana White, an author, historian and journalist, has written this trail as a volunteer on the restoration project, helping you to imagine both the time and the place from Jane's perspective.
