Bath is world renowned for its historic architecture, from its namesake baths to its “crescents” of historic residences. Our 7 km “runseeing” tour explores this UNESCO World Heritage site, hitting the top attractions along the way. The route starts out from the Pulteney Bridge/Victoria Art Gallery and heads south on the lovely Great Pulteney Street along the river. At Parade Gardens, cut west through Bath Abbey and see the famous baths. From here, continue west through Kingsmead Square to Norfolk Crescent. Return to Barton Street via Monmouth and head north past Queen Square to the Circus. Loop around the Circus into Royal Crescent, then take a tour through Royal Victoria Park. After enjoying these gorgeous green gardens, the route hits Lansdown Crescent before returning to the bridge via Milsom Street.

Other Routes in Bath, England
The former Bristol and Bath Railway still connects the two cities with a paved, 15-mile multi-use path. The 4-5 miles at the Bath end run along the River Avon, then passes through several suburbs.
A celebrated towpath along the Kennet and Avon Canal, this route out of downtown Bath continues north to Bathampton and points beyond. We highly recommend the section from Bath to the Sydney Gardens.
As its name suggests, this rural multi-use pathway includes two tunnels. One is over 1.6 km long with interactive light and sound features. The entire route is up to 9 km one way.
Enjoy historic sites and lovely views of Bath from the hills encircling the city on this 10 km loop through meadows and woodlands. Other options include a Parkrun and connections to the Kennet and Avon Canal Towpaths.
Take on one of the top hills in Bath with one of two streets surrounding the Entry Hill Golf Course. A round trip from Bear Flat is about 4 km.
The Cotswold Way is one of the UK’s “National Trails,” a 100+ mile pathway through the countryside from Bath to Chipping Camden. A nice out and back from the city is from Bath Abbey to Kelston Round Hill.
