Bath is in a valley bounded by high limestone slopes that rise to a maximum 238 metres.
Visiting the Prior Park Landscape Garden you can take the opportunity to get onto the Bath Skyline, a six-mile looped trail that runs along the ridge above the city.
Prior Park is on the southwest corner of the circuit and from there you can set off on a hike through unfrequented valleys, beech forest and meadows with wildflowers.
