Bath (is this the world’s most beautiful city?
Bath is a city in southwest England, just 13 miles from Bristol, which you can reach via a traffic-free old railway line. Royal Victoria Park is a centrepiece of Bath. Opened in 1830 and named after Princess Victoria before she became queen, this park stretches across 57 acres.
The Roman Baths are built around natural hot springs, this ancient site has drawn people for nearly 2,000 years. At the heart of the complex is the Sacred Spring, where natural hot water bubbles up from deep underground. The Romans believed this was the work of the goddess Sulis Minerva.
The Bath Skyline Walk is a six-mile circular path that gives a full view of the city. The trail starts just outside the city centre and climbs up to reveal open fields, wildflowers, ancient woodlands and hidden valleys.

Bath and Bristol Railway Walk
The Bath and Bristol Railway Walk offers a peaceful route between two of the area’s most historic cities. The path follows a disused railway with plenty of flat, traffic-free stretches, so it’s safe for cycling or walking. Along the way, see wildflowers, woodlands, and old railway bridges.
The walk is well-signposted and connects small villages and cosy pubs, making it ideal for a day out and a taste of local countryside.
