Dearest Reader, the ton are abuzz with the latest gossip, and so it is my honor to impart to you: The third season of Bridgerton was recently filmed at the Royal Crescent and other locations around Bath, which happens to only be a 10 minute walk from Bath Backpackers Hostel. Bridgerton fans might be able to spot one or two of their favourite characters of show. Gentle reader, it would indeed be a delightful honor to see you at our hostel and visiting these beautiful filming locations. Yours Truly, Lady Whistledown #visitbath #visitsomerset #bathspa #visitengland #bathuk #bathengland #cityofbath #bathbackpackers #hostellife @visitbath @your_bathcity
