It was built between 1767 and 1774 and today houses a museum. You can get an insight into a Georgian townhouse and its furnishings, as well as an insight into the life of the family.

I wondered if it was really worth the effort to visit, but now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I would say: yes! Especially during a city walk, it's wonderful to escape the busiest streets in the center of Bath and admire this grand Georgian architecture.

As most English canalpaths, it's too narrow for my liking. However I don't think there's a better alternative so I stuck with it.
