Bath Skyline Walk
2024-02-10 08:00 - 2024-02-11 17:00 | Buckinghamshire
This walk will take you only a short stroll from the city centre, onto the skyline hills above Bath and beyond, through 10 miles of meadows and ancient woodlands to secluded valleys.

A variety of views from this walk’s elevated position offer new perspectives of Bath, nestled among tree-lined hills. The contrast of the city, so close to this rural haven, enhances the sense of tranquillity and the softness of nature’s forms, that unfurl into Bath like green fingers holding a golden stone prize, a special combination that has earned the city and its countryside setting World Heritage Site status.

For many of the children at Pace just achieving independent mobility is a huge achievement and takes years of practice. Whether it’s taking one step, or learning to use a motorised wheelchair, the challenges they overcome to be independent are enormous. YOU can help them achieve their goals and transform the lives of children with a neurodisability like cerebral palsy by putting on your own walking shoes and joining us for the ‘Winter Waggle’. Taking part not only gives you the opportunity to explore this beautiful countryside estate, but you will also be helping us to provide life changing support to the babies, children and young people who access Pace services.
