Beautiful historic architecture. Greetings from a Brit residing in Arizona, USA.

[@imranzazai7404]

England is very beautiful.

[@rgvtexas8391]

The repurposed telephone booths are beautiful. What a great idea.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Bath, England reminds me of Jane Austen. That’s it. That’s the comment.

[@marmoset3]

Jane Austen lived her last days and died in Winchester, perhaps WW will do a walk there one day if not already.

[@billybudd5854]

Jane Austen lived in Bath from 1801 to 1806. There is a museum to her in the city.

[@mydelicioustrips]

It’s great opportunity to travel with your videos from my home thanks for sharing your moments with us.greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷

[@WatchedWalker]

My pleasure MDT, greetings to Turkey 🙂

[@billybudd5854]

Been to Bath many times and have always loved the place. This walk actually takes in only part of the best bits of the city, because it does not include some of the most impressive and beautiful architectural sights, such as the Circus and the Royal Crescent.

[@WatchedWalker]

BB, they will be in my next Bath video 🙂

[@theecosmetaverse]

Nessun Dorma... I haven't been in Bath since 2004 and I miss it so bad. Great video. Thank you so much.

[@VanessaKismetSmitten]

Yes! Looking forward to this! Was just about to post my photos of Bath pre quarantine. I take the train here every time I’m home. One of my most favorite place be.

[@VanessaKismetSmitten]

@Falcom Scott Yes it’s a must when you travel to U.K. there are so many great places to go

[@GeekStreetTravels]

Love the city of Bath. Captured the place really well 👌👏👍

[@WatchedWalker]

Thanks a lot GST 😊

[@worldgrill]

Paul, What a wonderful walk and so glad to see you are getting out of London again!! I really enjoyed this video as it has been over 25 years since I have been in Bath and one of those beautiful market towns you don't hear much about. Love those angels climbing the stairway to heaven outside the cathedral. Thanks, for doing the river walk as well as only had a half-day there and did not have time to do that!! Best regards!!!

[@WatchedWalker]

Thank you Robert! I loved my short trip to Bath, I'd love to return and spend a bit more time there, it's just so beautiful! Take care 🙂

I want to go to England😁 From Japan🇯🇵

[@Rob.S-]

The King is in the building.

[@editorinformal873]

A city with some much to show makes the camera of the reporter a little bit erratic, sometimes confusing the viewer. Anyhow, one more nice piece of reportage from WW, to whom i thank to have shared it. As AW commented at this page, it is a privilege to to see the world through your camera.

[@WatchedWalker]

Thank you EI, there were just so many beautiful things to see there!

[@TourSidekicks]

Great video! I really enjoyed watching it ❤

[@alicewestbury4817]

It reminds me of a modern day Pompeii

[@An.traveler]

I was there on Dec 2019 (which also my last trip) right before the pandemic began. I was with Evans&Evans day tour back then. We arrived at Bath around 4 PM and should go back to our bus stop (not a bus park) before 6 PM if I'm not mistaken. But then I took too much time in Roman Bath building. I cannot find any people on my group or way to go back to the bus stop. It was already 6 PM and the situation around Roman Bath and Abbey were very crowded. I totally lost. I was afraid to death imagining the tour has left me alone here while tomorrow morning is my flight back to my country. I then run around that area to find a big street and or an officer who can help me. A moment later I found an officer who gave me very clear direction. After did a sprint, I finally found the bus stop and extremely grateful they still there and waited for me. That was horrible 15 minutes from my 8 great days and great adventures in UK. Oh also that was my first time to travel to Europe and being solo traveller. Seeing your video remind me of that situation :D I'm dying to go back to UK again and stay for at least 2 nights in Bath. Hope everything goes well in the near future.

[@WatchedWalker]

Anne, what a nightmare that would have been, I can just imagine it! I'm glad you made it back to the group again. I hope you get to revisit Bath and the UK 🙂

[@aqibnazir235]

Sehri time in Pakistan 🇵🇰 and I'm walking with you 🙂

[@faizsadik584]

That opera 👌🏻

[@pagla0306]

What a beautiful video of a beautiful stone built architecture city of Bath. The beautiful sunshine made it so much better. Catching up with your videos again after a diversion. Been to Bath couple of times, but your videos are so detailed and thorough. So pleased to relieve some scene from a decade back. Thanks so much. Hope to see all videos of Bath. The CC is just marvellous. Your due diligence is admirable. Take care WW.

[@WatchedWalker]

Thank you very much Pagla, and great to hear from you again. Bath is such a beautiful city, I enjoyed my short visit there. Appreciate your support, take care too 🙂

[@michaelnorthcote3194]

I went to Bath for the first time this week. I really enjoyed it. This video was great, especially the area around the river. I plan on going to York next. I've heard it's great, but would love to see a Watched Walker video there first!!!! Great channel.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

If only I could go to the UK and visit all the places ‘Watched Walker’ is visiting. One day!

[@ВладимирОкоренко]

Супер видео ! ! !😋😀🙂😎

We were in Bath in 2014 and loved it. This video brings back wonderful memories.

[@ZenWalks]

Wow, love Bath and love this video (as always, a great walking video!!). Like 210! What a glorious sunny day there! Thanks for this amazing virtual tour. Greetings from your friend Zen Walks, Lisbon 😊🐌

Thank you ZW, greetings to beautiful Lisbon 🙂

[@ZenWalks]

@@WatchedWalker thanks so much, and you’re welcome! Your channel is awesome! :)

[@suzyhazelwood9942]

This walk was absolutely wonderful... so peaceful... I've watched it several times!!😍 I visited Bath with my family at age five, but my memory of it is a little hazy now! I do remember thinking it was really beautiful and experiencing my first feeling of how I loved cities, and that when I grew up I'd have to live in a city. I made to it to a city to live but didn't ever return to Bath. The lady singing opera... I have seen her in Norwich a few years ago... she travels about a bit. Stunning voice she has, so lovely to hear an opera float down the streets... very surreal!❤️ I'd love to visit Bath again now... it's incredibly attractive!! You must be so pleased to be able to leave London for a while and do some other walks. I don't know how all of you travel walkers on You Tube have coped with so much restriction on travel without going crazy. Thanks for all you do... much appreciated!!👍

[@WatchedWalker]

Thank you so much Suzy! Bath is just so beautiful, especially when the sun is shining. And I agree that opera singer has an incredible voice. I hope to do more trips now that things are slowing returning to some kind of normality again, Take care 🙂

[@tigers10vb]

I very much appreciate all of the videos. I want to see the world but can’t afford to so these help.

[@WatchedWalker]

My pleasure SDH, I hope one day you are able to travel 🙂

[@_H_2023]

We had a place here for three years, I miss Bath, one of the best Asian food restaurant's I've ever eaten in was 'East meets West' 5:06 , if you're visiting, recommend it.

[@Sydney2217]

Big Thanks from me in Sydney ..will probably not get back to the UK so your walking tours are a nostalgic experience . Beautifly done videos , alot of thought/preparation plus the timestamps make them a must to watch .

[@WatchedWalker]

Thank you D G, I'm pleased you enjoy my walks, greetings to lovely Sydney 🙂

waiting for this video

[@shawnmcohen5045]

Thank you for a great walking tour of Bath! I love that city. My daughter attended Bath Spa University there and loved the city so much she stayed and I get to visit it often. Beautiful and filled with Roman architecture and many Italians come to visit and live there too because of how much it is like various cities in Italy. Great tour, thank you!

[@WatchedWalker]

Shawn, so glad you enjoyed it! What a beautiful city for your daughter to live in!

[@shawnmcohen5045]

@@WatchedWalker thank you, I agree! :-) So lovely to see it from all those points of view and I learned some things and places I did not know. Awesome!! :-)

@@WatchedWalker Least I could do I appreciate the walks

[@texanmartin]

Your videos are superb. How do you attach/carry equipment while doing these walks? Specifically with the Zoom recorder that you're recording the audio to? Some kind of harnesses or straps, or just somehow bind the Osmo and Zoom together?

[@WatchedWalker]

Thanks Martin, the camera is handheld and the zoom is just in the pocket.

[@texanmartin]

@@WatchedWalker Ok, thanks. I was overcomplicating my thinking. Simple does it!

[@nozlenc3885]

[@evancortez2]

I was in Bath for the first and only time in 2015 as part of a tour group. We were only there for a couple of hours but I really enjoyed it there, so much history and great architecture and scenery. Our tour guide said many celebrities have homes there including Nicolas Cage and Johnny Depp, and as were were leaving Bath I was looking at the houses and wondered what it was like to live there. I would love to have a home there!

[@WatchedWalker]

Evan, it's such a beautiful part of the country, I'm sure many would love to have a home there too 🙂

[@justwalk-travelasmrchannel1630]

Wow this is so awesome!! 😍

[@roryboytube]

A beautiful city unfortunately they should have populated those collonaded streets with independent quirky shops and cafes instead of the normal boring High street chains. It completely dissipates the effect to see Nat West, Metro Bank logos and McDonald's destroying the vision. Gentrification is also in action, giving the place a fake, sterile feel. Fantastic Opera singer though, didn't expect that.

[@es9382]

Seemingly there's an obesity epidemic in UK...its not always people's fault.
