About this walk

A National Trust classic on Bath's eastern hills, Bath Skyline links wildflower meadows, ancient woodland and working farmland on a six-mile circular walk. Dogs can range under close control across most of the route, though leads are required through Larch Wood, the woodland play area and any grazing fields. Livestock share several sections, so recall matters. Sweeping views over the city reward the climb, and waste bins are dotted along the path.
