Outdoor Activities in Bath

They can be, once you drop the idea of completing them. A trail or a tour supplies a reason to keep walking, which is worth a great deal with a six-year-old who otherwise asks how much further at every corner. With a toddler it is usually a no — the pace is wrong and the stopping is constant. Look up the route length before you commit either way.

Almost none of them, and better to face that now. Just two of the fifteen have indoor space attached, The Roman Baths being one. The list is built for dry days, so the sensible approach is one plan for dry weather and an entirely separate plan for wet, rather than making a single list do both jobs.

Bath City Farm is the clearest answer on this list, and farm visits generally suit younger children better than heritage does, because there is something to look at that moves of its own accord. Ask which animals are out and what is running before you travel, since that changes constantly and our listing does not track it.

Easily, and pairing a route with a destination is the combination that works best. Walk while everyone is fresh, then stop somewhere the children can be left to their own devices while the adults sit down. Trying it the other way round rarely works — nobody walks well after an hour of running about, and the second half becomes a negotiation.
