Bath city walls, Medieval defensive walls in Bath, England
The city walls stretch along the perimeter of Bath with sections measuring three meters in width and six meters in height, incorporating four main gates.
Built in the fourth century during Roman times, the walls underwent modifications by Anglo-Saxons and received reinforcements during the reign of King Stephen in the 1100s.
The North and South Gates displayed statues of prominent figures including King Bladud and Edward III, connecting the fortifications to local religious structures.
Visitors can observe remaining sections of the walls at Upper Borough Walls and near the Marks & Spencer delivery area on Old Orchard Street.
Archaeological excavations revealed a tenth-century timber barricade and a medieval sword from 1013, indicating military activities around the fortifications.
