Our verdict
One of Bath's many cliff-hanger woods — the city is built on slopes too steep to build on, and this is one of them. A shortcut with atmosphere rather than a walk in itself; Beechen Cliff next door does the full performance.
A steep scrap of urban woodland on the hillside south of Bear Flat, in the green wedge that runs up towards Perrymead — mature trees holding the slope, with the city's towers appearing through winter branches.
A wooded slope off the Wells Road in south Bath, open at all times.
