Join us as we combine Bath's finest rural vistas with its UNESCO World Heritage city centre in one perfectly balanced day. Our carefully crafted route delivers panoramic city views, explores ancient woodland, and traverses the historic Kennet and Avon Canal before immersing walkers in Bath's architectural splendor.

The morning section ascends through tranquil paths to reach the city's eastern heights, offering spectacular photography opportunities across the Avon Valley. Highlights include the 18th-century folly of Sham Castle, centuries-old beech woodland, and beautifully maintained grounds, with multiple viewpoints across the World Heritage city.

After a strategic lunch stop at Sydney Gardens' Holburne Museum, the afternoon leg showcases Bath's architectural magnificence, including Great Pulteney Street, often called Britain's grandest boulevard, the medieval Bath Abbey, and the Roman Baths complex. The route culminates in a perfectly timed visit to the Royal Crescent and The Circus, Bath's iconic Georgian masterpieces, before a serene canal-side return journey.

This versatile route offers year-round appeal with seasonal highlights. Refreshment options range from casual canal-side pubs to elegant Georgian tea rooms - there is truly something for everyone!
