We are the Kingswood Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Jeff from Bath Ramblers has invited us to join him to enjoy the magical charm of the timeless Swainswick and Woolley valley.
We cross lush green fields to reach the exceptionally beautiful St Mary Magdalene Church at Langridge, and continue along a quiet lane and meadows to join the Cotswold Way up to the site of the 1643 Battle of Lansdown Hill. Then we cross farmland to get back to Lansdown Road.
Please bring a drink and picnic for short coffee and lunch stops along the way.
We pass the Charlcombe Inn very near the end of the walk, so walkers can decide whether to get straight back to the Park and Ride, or to stop for refreshments at the pub first.
The leader has walked this route many times and has never experienced any problems with the horses, sheep, and dairy cattle in the fields we pass through but, because of the livestock, dogs are not permitted on this walk.
Meet outside the toilet block at Lansdown Park and Ride, Lansdown Road, Bath BA1 9BJ, ready to start walking at 10.15 am. Those driving to the car park are required to pay a £2 MiPermit parking fee (payable via any mobile phone).
