Bathscape Walking Festival programme

Celebrate the local landscape through Bathscape’s 2022 walking festival programme, which is now open for bookings!  Visit their website here to find all their walks and self-guided activities. 

The two-week programme includes events to suit walkers of all abilities. The annual Bathscape Walking Festival starts in on September 10 and the last event is on September 25 with the Julian House Circuit of Bath. 

The programme includes more than 60 free walks and events. If you can’t make it on the dates, you can still take advantage of this year’s virtual festival, which features a new collection of self-guided walking trails, produced in partnership with Cotswolds National Landscape and the volunteer route testers.  You can find the walking trails on the digital map https://www.bathscape.co.uk/map/ and download the accompanying trail guide.  Walks available are of different lengths, include wheel friendly walks and sensory walks. 

Climate change and taking action for wildlife are always popular topics and some extra family walks have recently been added to the programme: a Family Nature Walk at Bath City Farm on September 10 with foraging, nature spotting and bug hunting and a Family walk of roughly two miles from the Roundhill, Mount Road, Southdown towards Englishcombe village and back.

If you’d like to hear more about what’s coming up in the Festival, September’s episode of the Bathscape Footprints podcast is all about walking.  You can listen here or wherever you get your podcasts https://footprints.captivate.fm/

Bathscape’s work is largely funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund with match funding from partners. To find out more visit the website.
