About

Discover Bath’s surprising rock and roll heritage as you wander its historic Georgian streets.

While Bath boasts rich classical roots, with prodigies like Thomas Linley and the lyrical masterpiece “Danny Boy” penned here, it’s the city’s electrifying connection to rock music that will leave you buzzing.

From Eddie Cochran’s untimely death at Combe Down in 1960, to Fleetwood Mac’s legendary farewell to Peter Green at Twerton Park in 1970, Bath’s streets have witnessed the rise and resonance of music history.

The Bath Blues Festival gave Led Zeppelin their first UK festival and even inspired the birth of Glastonbury, one of the world’s greatest music festivals.

Step back into the ‘80s at iconic venues like Moles Club, where Tears for Fears debuted, find the flat where they wrote “Mad World” and marvel at a cityscape which inspired Peter Gabriel to craft hits like “Solsbury Hill.”

With legends rehearsing in pubs, recording at Crescent Studios, and igniting stages across the city, Bath’s music story is as vibrant as its architecture. It’s a celebration of Bath’s lesser-known music legacy – and a chance to rediscover the city through the artists who rocked its stages, strutted its streets, and sometimes fell out of its bars.

Tours are led by charismatic musicians who were there and know many of the stars mentioned: guides with real music industry credentials who bring personal insight, humour, and behind-the-scenes knowledge to every stop.

Let Rock and Stroll Tours guide you through a time machine of melodies, memories, and milestones in the heart of Bath.

Your backstage pass to history awaits! Tours last approx 2 hours and involve walking with some inclines.
