Overview

Join us for far-reaching panoramic views over Bath, Bristol, and Somerset, and possible distant views of the Black Mountains in Wales and the Westbury White Horse.

From Weston village we follow the Cotswold Way up to Kelston Roundhill where, (weather permitting!), we can enjoy superb views during our coffee break.

We continue on up to another excellent viewpoint - Prospect Stile, and then pass alongside Bath Racecourse and Beckford’s Tower, before heading down through Primrose Hill Community Woodland to Weston village.

There are one or two steep ascents and descents, and some sections could be muddy, so walking boots are recommended and, if you have them, walking poles are helpful.

Please bring a drink and picnic for short stops along the way, and maybe join us for refreshments at The Old Crown at the end of the walk?

Assistance dogs only, please.
