Activities in Bath

The Kennet and Avon Canal runs through Bath, offering a scenic towpath popular with walkers, runners, and cyclists. The stretch through Bath passes through a mix of urban and semi-rural landscapes, with narrowboats, wildlife, and peaceful waterside scenery.

Thermae Bath Spa is Britain's only natural thermal spa, where visitors can bathe in the same mineral-rich waters that attracted the Romans over 2,000 years ago. The modern building, designed by Nicholas Grimshaw, features a stunning open-air rooftop pool with panoramic views across Bath's skyline.

The Bath Skyline Walk is a 6-mile (9.7 km) circular route managed by the National Trust, leading through ancient woodland, meadows, and Roman-era sites on the hills above Bath. The walk offers consistently spectacular views across the city and passes through one of the richest archaeological landscapes in Britain.
