About this walk
Long Wood sits within the National Trust's Rainbow Wood Farm land, part of the wider Bath Skyline estate on the city's eastern hills, alongside neighbouring Larch Wood. Expect a short, informal woodland walk with wild garlic and bluebells in spring, plus a fairy trail and play area close by. The same Bath Skyline dog guidance applies across the estate: close control is fine in the open wood, but leads go on near the play area and any grazing stock.
