Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- LMK5Irvine, CA479 contributionsThis is a great, uncrowded, undiscovered gem! We walked all the way from the Bath Locks to St. Nicholas Curch in Bathampton. It takes about an hour, and on the way you'll see historic buildings, great scenery, quirky narrowboats, wonderful churches, and landmark bridges. What you won't see are hoards of tourists, just mostly locals on their bikes or just out for a stroll. Don't forget to stop at the historic George Inn for a hot or cold beverage to recharge you for the trek back to Bath. This was an unexpected highlight of our stay in the great city of Bath.Written 15 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EmmabalBath, UK8 contributionsBeautiful walk. Guides were very patient , understanding and knowledgeable. They made sure to make everyone comfortable so that each could go at a pace that suited. There was time to look and think about sites on the way and learn a little about local history. Really wonderful day.Written 18 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HINA WIslamabad, Pakistan7,358 contributionsThis is a variant of the famous Salzburg Mozart. We saw this interesting statue in the Parade Gardens of Bath. It was commissioned by Mark Purnell's mother after his death. Mark had great love of music. It was made in 1991 by David Backhog. You can see the young Mozart playing his violin. He stands on a beautiful platform. At his feet you can see three artistically crafted doves, two squirrels and a mouse. Bath is a town fascinated by music in general and Mozart in particular. Every year a Mozartfest takes place here. I was very impressed by the statues of Mozart and his sister.Written 16 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David DDevon, UK27,171 contributionsThis stone Fountain is situated in the centre of the intersection of four roads at Laura Place.
It is a short walk down Argyle Street from Pulteney Bridge.
When we visited here on Friday morning 28th May, the Fountain was not working. There was no water in it.
It is a Grade II listed building and commemorates the centenary of Bath and Western Counties Agricultural Society.
Laura's Place is named after the daughter of Sir William Pulteney who commissioned the building of the Bridge, named after him.

He got this obelisk erected in honour of Frederick Prince of Wales. It used to be around 70 feet high until a storm in 1815 shortened it. I still thought that it is an impressive edifice.Written 16 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- David DDevon, UK27,171 contributionsThursday morning 27th May, a glorious sunny day with blue skies, as we walked into Royal Victoria Park.
The obelisk, in honour of Queen Victoria stands on a small roundabout inside the gate entrance to the Park at the top of Royal Avenue. It is approximately 10 metres tall (nearly 33 feet)
On the east side of the plinth , facing the gate, there is a relief image of Princess Victoria surrounded by ornate masonry, the following inscription is below :-
"VICTORIA. Her Majesty Queen Victoria married to His Royal Highness PRINCE ALBERT OF SAXE COBURG and GOTHA February 10 1840".
It really was quite a sight, as we approached the Park, to see the obelisk In all its glory flanked by the gates.Written 6 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Was surprised to see the statues on building when we stopped and looked up to the building. Very interesting.Written 23 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

These artificial stone lions are replicas of marvellous Medici lions. We saw them on the gates of Royal Avenue’s south eastern end. They are representative of the crown of first king of England, King Edgar. These bronzed statues were placed here around 1818. You can see the lions standing with their paws raised onto gilded balls. I was truly impressed by the craftsmanship.Written 16 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HINA WIslamabad, Pakistan7,358 contributionsOut of all Bath statues this one impressed me the most. Netflix has recently taken up the task of spotlighting the talented female siblings of famous brothers who were not allowed to shine because of their gender. Maria, nicknamed Nannerl, was a talented harpsichord and forte piano player, who used to perform next to Mozart. It is a historical fact that she used to gain greater applause then her talented younger brother in 1759 and later. It was only because of the social taboo, of being a female, that she was lost in oblivion. You can find her statue in the Parade Ground next to Mozart.Written 16 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael BBellflower, CA24,492 contributionsWalking down Bridge Street towards Pulteney bridge we passed the Queen Victoria Art Gallery, and in a niche in the façade above the entrance is a lovely white marble statue of Queen Victoria, flanked with Ionic columns and pilasters, carved by Anglo-Italian sculptor, Andrea Carlo Lucchesi.
It was a gift to the city of Bath from the local Women’s organizations, to commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. Originally it was planned to be unveiled in May of 1900 by Lord Roberts, but the statue was not finished until November so it was unveiled it without ceremony on 16 April 1901.
TIP: If the gallery is open it is worth a look as it has over 1500 objects of art including a collection of oil paintings from British artists dating from 1700 onwards.
Thanks for reading. would appreciate a thumbs up if you’ve found this helpful.Written 14 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It depicts a bulb structure representing the different layers associated with horticulture and looks to the future of Britain in Bloom.
On the plinth is a mental plaque with the inscription TO CELEBRATE 50 YEARS OF BRITAIN IN BLOOM 2014.
On its own it is nothing very special, however, it combines with all of the other features to make the Gardens a delightful place to visit and walk around and enjoy.Written 29 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
