Our verdict
Bath dog-walking headquarters — a big friendly field, old beeches and that view. Do the full Skyline loop from here and you've earned your bun in town.
Beech woodland and cow-grazed pasture on Claverton Down, the leafy middle stretch of the six-mile Bath Skyline walk, with gaps in the trees framing the whole city.
National Trust land on the Bath Skyline route, free to walk at all times.
