Camden Place is on the northern slopes of the city of Bath and is raised above the level of the road on a steep terrace walk outside of the city center. Sir Eliot and Elizabeth choose to live in a grand home in this part of the city, and Sir Eliot prides himself in the house being a, "lofty dignified situation", as this part of town was considered to be for those of higher wealth and status. Mr. Eliot tries to win back the trust of the family by calling in to Camden Place multiple times, which was significant because Camden Place was well out of the way of the direct routes of the main streets of the city, and the ascent to Camden-place was pretty steep.
