32 km / 20 miles
A walker's circumnavigation of the historic City of Bath

This walk offers stunning views, history, heritage, countryside and city, including Little Solsbury Hill. A beautiful walk in any season as it takes in river, canal, meadows, woodland and peaceful valleys.

It can be walked and is waymarked in both directions, but the climbs are slightly easier going clockwise. There are several pubs and cafes along the route. The walk is divided into four sections each suitable for a day's walk.

You can start and finish in several places including Lansdown, Newbridge and Odd Down Park and Rides, Bathampton or the Brassknocker Basin car park at the canal centre (parking charges apply here).

The route is based on the Julian House sponsored walk, and this local charity has been checking and refining it every year since 2001. An annual challenge event takes place over this route, see Julian House link below.
