These are usually short circular walks, the photos are all in order of the route left to right (although they may not have been taken on the day of the walk). If you click on a photo you will be taken to a larger image on my flickr page, where you can also click on, map, on the left of the page to find the location.

Bath, from the Campsite to the Center

When we were in Bath last year we walked along the river Avon from the Campsite, Bath Marina & Caravan Park, to the famous Pulteney Bridge, taking photos of the many bridges as we went.

The walk is about 3.0 miles or 4.8 km, we set off into bath center, by walking along the river, only we could not get to the river until we had walked for quite some time. Anyway we got there and it was quite a long walk. I think there was another way out of the campsite that went straight onto the river but we missed it.

Out the site we went right onto Brassmill lane, to get onto the river side but the road just took a long time to get there, about half a mile. In fact we joined at Weston Cut a short canal near the lock gates.

From there we passed many bridges over the river Avon and I took photos of then all, so here are a couple of them along the way.

After about a mile or so we came to the center but instead of going away from the river we decided to carry on until we came to Pulteney Bridge, the famous one for Bath. First at the Train Station we crossed over the river and continued on the other side.

Old Railway Bridge

Its an quite an easy walk following a river, so we continued our walk until we came to the Pulteney Bridge and the weirs.

Once across the bride that was the end of our walk, we were pretty tired after the walk, so went for drinks and as for getting back, we caught a bus.
