Bath Walking and Cycling Guide
Iconic sights, tranquil surroundings, and rolling hills
Bath presents a brilliant combination of city strolls and countryside rambles. The walk into Bath is often viewed as a pilgrimage, with many a traveller settling down into a local pub at the end of it. Alternatively, we recommend venturing towards Old Sodbury and Little Sodbury, two charming villages which offer glimpses of the Iron Age, the Roman era, and even the troubled times of Henry VIII.
