Bath Skyline Walk

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.

We make our way back up through the Getty’s Wormsley Park, home of Garsington Opera in the Hambleden Valley.
