Bristol to Bath. 29km.





































Very easy ride along the Bristol to Bath Rail Path, only taking 2 hours.

Bath is very pretty, with classical mostly Georgian and Victorian architecture. It started raining just as we checked into our hotel (Redcar Hotel built as a townhouse in 1846), so it put a dampener on our tour of the town. Jane Austen set some of her chapters in Bath, and I think she may have lived here for a while. The setting of the architecture around the Avon river is really lovely. We visited the Holburne Museum and saw some excellent paintings by Gainsborough, Turner, Constable and Ramsey etc.

Route: Bristol - Bitton - Bath.
