Bath Skyline
Bästa tid att besöka
The golden hour just before sunset offers the warmest light over the stone rooftops. Autumn is ideal because the foliage colors contrast with the classic architecture.
Budgettips
Access to the trail is completely free, there is no entrance fee at any point along the route. Bring your own water and snacks in your backpack, because food options near the path are scarce and expensive.
Rekommenderas för

Om
Snabba fakta: Med 10 kilometer långa stigar tar denna slinga dig genom urgamla skogar, ängar med vilda blommor och förbi järnåldersborgar. Du kommer att dela stigen med betande får och få glimtar av den honungsfärgade staden nedanför genom glipor i träden.
Höjdpunkter: På den högsta punkten tornar Sham Castle upp sig: en gotisk 1700-talsnyck (folly) byggd enbart för dekoration, utan bakvägg bakom sin dramatiska fasad. Stå där under gyllene timmen och se stadens ljus tändas borta över dalen, en utsikt som förblivit oförändrad i århundraden.
Insidertips
- Wear hiking boots or sneakers with good grip, because some sections have steep slopes and loose stones.
- Start from the Bathwick Fields viewpoint to do the route counterclockwise and finish with the best views.
- The busiest area is the stretch next to Sham Castle tower, so go early in the morning to have the place almost to yourself.
- Download the official trail map before you leave, because the signage at some forest crossings is easy to miss.
