Walking
Bath & North East Somerset Walking Strategy
- The Council's Walking Strategy is designed to support the Council’s Visions and Values statements.
- It recognises pedestrians as one of the high priority groups within the traffic management hierarchy and seeks to promote safe and efficient use of the highway whilst benefiting the local economy and tourist potential.
- At the same time, it should contribute to national efforts to reduce the growth in motor traffic.
- Walking publicity including the "Why Not Walk?" brochure is now available from Council Offices.
- The brochure contains a series of short walks exploring Bath's parks and other open spaces, all within a mile of the city centre.
- These walks can improve your physical and mental health and fitness while enjoying the special scenery of this World Heritage city.
