As the Bathscape Scheme, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, draws to a close, we are carrying out some changes to the website. Some elements and pages will be removed, and the content edited. Whilst we undertake these changes, if you cannot find what you’re looking for, or see things that needs fixing, please email info@bathscape.co.uk and we will help you find it.
“The Bathscape” refers to the landscape setting of the world heritage site. The stunning green backdrop to the city’s renowned Georgian architecture, the Bathscape is what makes Bath one of the most complete landscape cities, and a key reason for its double designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
“Bathscape” also refers to the Landscape Partnership Scheme that was funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Bathscape’s partners between 2019 and 2026. This was its vision:
The Bathscape scheme will ensure Bath and its setting is better recognised, managed and experienced as a landscape city, with the surrounding hills and valleys blending with the World Heritage Site and actively enjoyed by all. A greater number and wider range of people will feel connected to their local landscape and inspired to explore the outstanding built and natural environments, improving health and wellbeing.
It brought together organisations, community groups, conservation bodies and others with an interest in the Bathscape area, working together towards ensuring the project achieved its aims and left a lasting legacy.
