Rubys Retreat

Bath Skyline Walk

Traces a dramatic 9.6km loop around Bath with sustained climbs through ancient woodlands and across National Trust meadows. Steep sections and uneven terrain make it unsuitable for buggies or very young children, though older kids who enjoy proper walks will love the variety. Dogs welcome throughout. Rewards effort with sweeping city views, hidden valleys, and historic follies including Sham Castle—arguably the finest way to see Bath's Georgian splendour from above.

River Avon Trail

Follows the River Avon through varied Gloucestershire and Wiltshire countryside, with mostly flat to gentle sections along the riverbank but occasional moderate climbs where the path diverts around weirs or through villages. Suitable for older children with stamina, though uneven towpaths and stiles make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers peaceful waterside walking, wildlife spotting, and charming historic towns including Bath if tackling the full route.

Limestone Link

Follows a **58km waymarked trail** through Somerset's limestone country between the Mendip Hills and Cotswolds. Terrain varies from gentle valley paths to moderate climbs over ridges—expect some steady ascents but nothing overly technical. Suitable for older children with stamina, though the full length is ambitious; most tackle shorter sections or single days. Dogs welcome on footpaths and bridleways throughout. Rewards walkers with panoramic views, historic villages, and distinctive limestone
