e all do it, but during lockdown, we really did it. We walked. We walked to get our exercise, we walked to clear our heads, we walked walked to break up the monotony. We walked alone, with family, and with friends. The benefits were obvious – free, flexible, caloriesburning, and mood-enhancing. But there was one huge side effect we weren’t expecting – we all fell in love with Bath again. This amazing little city is flanked by huge green spaces we’d taken for granted or not even been aware of, and so the walking continues. To keep us on the right path (and not following our phone sat nav because that way lies trouble and a dual carriageway), we’ve launched this occasional series of proper, spelt out Bath walks, starting with this first short circular route around Solsbury Hill, carefully plotted out by Bathscape, a local business partnership who run walks and events to help highlight and preserve the beauty of Bath’s landscapes.
