Sunday 14 June - After our long bike ride on Saturday we decided to prevent sore muscles by going for a long walk. We drove to The University of Bath and from there began the six mile hike known as the Bath Skyline walk. This trail takes one through fields and forests and intermittently presents one with amazing views of the city and surrounding countryside. Some of the trails were well defined while other meandered through thick trees or overgrown fields. It was a perfect day, blue skies and warm but not too hot. We walked to sham castle a lovely castle folly which is only a facade of one wall but it can be seen from Bath City centre. We also took a rather strenuous detour to visit Prior Park Landscape Garden which features a lovely Palladian bridge (one of only four in the world). The park also has a sham bridge and serpentine pool, including ducklings, and some lovely forest paths. After exploring the park we meandered back to the skyline trail and made it back to the car park. Overall, a very physical weekend but quite enjoyable.
