A second day in Bath and a completely different route, with a very different perspective from the opposite side of the city.

This hilly route offers spectacular scenery, so we will plan a brief pub stop midway along the route, at one of the best views of the day!

We head out along the tranquil Bath canal, before rising above it all to take in the incredible views of the city from the magnificent summit of Solsbury Hill. 

After heading out in to the surrounding countryside, we stop for light refreshments at the stunning stone built Hare and Hound, which sits high up on Lansdown Hill, with impressive views over the city and down the Charlcombe Valley. 

We make our return via the famous Royal Crescent, Royal Victoria Park and majestic streets at the centre of Bath.
