About this audio guide
This guide to Alexandra Park in Bath begins in nineteen oh two, on top of Beechen Cliff, with the city's mayor opening a new park built for a royal coronation. It reaches back to a farm field that was nearly sold for housing, and to a council committee with a remarkably cheerful name. Stand near the bowling green or at the viewpoint railing, where the city spreads out below.
