Features:
Encircling the hills around the city, the Bath Skyline Trail is a 10 km (6 mile) route through lovely meadows and woodlands. Runners can follow the yellow arrow signs to pick up the trail at various points around Bath. Some of the most common access points are Sham Castle Down, Bathampton Wood, and the Balcony and Rainbow Wood. Runners can enjoy the quiet solitude of the countryside, architectural feats such as the Castle, and stunning views overlooking the city from the hillside. Runners can find a map and detailed trail directions at the National Trust website.
