We are the Bath Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A circular walk to Charmy Down which was an airfield in the 2nd World War. Through fields and lanes to Northend (Batheaston), then a steep climb up Little Solsbury Hill (an iron age fort made famous in the Peter Gabriel song).
Magnificent views, beautiful countryside, pretty village.
Bring coffee and a snack.
