Here is a list of locations you can try out next time you want to go out for a simple stroll.
This historic location is great for learning about the people of Bath who made valuable contributions to the city’s history. This is also where movies like the Duchess and Persuasion were filmed at, so if you watched those movies, this place might look familiar. Are you a fan of Jane Austen? Get a chance to see her home here and walk the same gardens she did.
Here’s a good one. This location has quite the room to stroll in with an area of 57 acres. Enjoy the beautiful flower gardens where flowers bloom on the season while getting a chance to see the obelisk of Princess Victoria. She established the park when she was only 11 years old back in 1830.

This 102 mile/160 Km path is a long way to go, enough to keep your enjoyment for days. If you are into hiking then this is a scenic route that will take you to breathtaking scenes. Along the trail are villages, forests, ancient sites, and the route will end in the World Heritage City of Bath.
Examples of these places are the historic site of Tyndale Monument, Sudeley Castle (If you’ve never seen a real castle then this can be your opportunity).

This park is a spacious location that can provide countless hours of walking. Dyrham Park is a location where deer are free to roam, so you can expect to encounter them on your walks and perhaps even take pictures of them.

So not only can you enjoy the walks but you also have places to visit while taking a break.
