The Jane Austen Centre - an informative museum with a walk-through exhibition and all the photo ops - there's even a spot for afternoon tea upstairs

Bath's Assembly Rooms - this is the very spot where the high flyers of society socialised during Jane's years in Bath - including the author herself!

Sydney Gardens - the subject of many of Jane's letters to her sister Cassandra, Sydney Gardens are close to where she lived and is still a beautiful area to explore
