Join Cotswolds Wardens to do the whole 20.5 miles of the Circuit of Bath over one weekend. You can do one day, either day or both days.
Day 1 Batheaston via Solsbury Hill, Lansdown, Weston and Englishcombe to Odd Down.
11 miles over six hours plus public transport back to the start.
There are regular buses from the city centre to Batheaston, but if coming by car you will need to park on local roads as the car park has a three-hour limit and the walk will be longer than this. The group will start from Batheaston car park (What3Words blog.smug.sheet) and climb to Little Solsbury Hill with magnificent views towards Bath, before descendinhg to Upper Swainswick and the Wooley Valley and then climb to the Lansdown plateau, again with views across the countryside. Then on to Weston and the River Avon with a short climb to Carr’s Wood then dropping down to Bath Mill to follow the Newton Brook. You'll then walk along quiet country lanes to reach Englishcombe. From Englishcombe it's on to the Odd Down Park and Ride site, the end point for the day. Guided by your walk leaders you will return to the start point using public transport. Bring snacks and a packed lunch.
Day 2 Odd Down via Midford, Monkton Combe, Kennet & Avon Canal to Batheaston.
9.5 miles over 5.5 hours plus public transport back to the start.
Start from the Odd Down Park and Ride (What3Words curving.glaze.listed), do remember to pay for parking. Walk along the ridge to the Millenium Viewpoint with views towards Somerset and Wiltshire.

Arrive at Brassknocker Basin to follow the towpath of the Kennet and Avon canal to Bathampton.
