Our Thursday Wellbeing Walks in the beautiful city of Bath start off at the same point, the Monksdale Road allotments. A tranquil, safe space where Bath Mind have set up Greenlinks, a community support group offering people with mental and physical health issues the opportunity to engage in gardening activities.
From here we have a number of walking routes which we choose based on what the walkers want or feel they can do that day. One route takes us along the Linear Park which serves as a ribbon of countryside through the city, with distant glimpsed views of many of the city’s iconic features, such as the Royal Crescent. We then go through Bloomfield Green towards Bear Flat, encompassing both urban and green spaces. Once in Bear Flat we take in one of the spectacular viewpoints of Alexandra Park, before heading back to the allotments.
On the first Thursday of each month, there’s often a themed walk about nature or local history.
The walks are every week on a Thursday at 11 am starting at Monksdale Road Allotments (BA2 2JD), from the car park, and are led by volunteers from Bathscape and Bath Mind. The walk is no longer than an hour, reasonably flat and often wheelchair/buggy accessible. Assistance/guide dogs welcome. If you need to drive to the allotments, please use the on-street parking in the surrounding streets.
Please note, no dogs except assistance dogs, thank you.
