About this audio guide
This guide to Parade Gardens in Bath follows one riverside triangle of ground through its appetites, from the abbey's orchard and Monk's Mill in the sixteen hundreds to the tea rooms of the Georgian Lower Rooms above the lawns. Thomas Harrison, a sycamore walk and a family with a remarkably apt surname all turn up. Best heard from a deckchair facing the river, with Pulteney Bridge in view.
