Bath Skyline loop

Run · 6 miles · 55 min · 13 stops

Map of the Bath Skyline loop route showing the full 6-mile run route

The National Trust's famous six-miler above the city: Sham Castle, hidden valleys and the best views of Bath's crescents. A proper trail run.

The National Trust's Skyline is Bath's favourite run for a reason: six miles of woods, meadows and follies with the whole city, crescents, abbey and all, laid out below. Muddy after rain, magical at sunrise.
