This walk will trace the designed landscape William Beckford created in Bath between his home at Lansdown Crescent and his Tower at the Top of Lansdown Hill.
Join Dr Amy Frost on a journey revealing what still survives of Beckford’s creation, how transatlantic slavery paid for it and why he wanted to build a retreat from the City. You will also be rewarded with fantastic views from the top.
