Kelston Roundhill affords spellbinding views over Bath, Bristol and Somerset. In clear conditions, you can see both Severn bridges, across to Wales and the Black Mountains, the Wiltshire Downs in the east and the Mendip Hills in the south. The countryside in this neck of the woods is magnificent; a picturesque and quintessentially-English patchwork. A superb section of the Cotswold Way runs over the hill, too.

Definitely worth seeing! If you are interested in Roman history, this is the place for you!

Don’t park in Rose & Crown Car Park, understandably they get annoyed.

The baths themselves are well worth a visit! If you want to know more about this amazing historic place, https://www.romanbaths.co.uk/visit is the official website with a lot of useful information.

Excellent views

Commemorates Civil War Royalist commander Sir Bevil Grenville who was mortally wounded at the Battle of Lansdowne which took place here 1643.

The only hot springs in England discovered by the Romans. Very good audio guide with top restorations, but the highlight is the bathroom itself, very impressive to walk around on such old stones. It's easy to imagine how people used to enjoy the thermal water back then.

Fun little hill to run up. Amazing panoramic views

Erected in 1859, the Three Shires Stones mark the point where Somerset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire meet. Although the marking is pretty impressive, it's nestled at the side of the main road, part of the Fosse Way, so it's easy to miss. It's said that the stones were once part of an ancient burial chamber.

couple of ways up to the top for some fabulous views

Bath, or Aquae Sulis - the northernmost thermal bath of the Romans. With the weather you can understand why the Romans appreciated the warm thermal spring.

The Wick Golden Valley Local Nature Reserve (LNR) is an important and unique place. There are few reserves in South Gloucestershire with such a diverse habitat so readily accessible to the local community. The range of habitats includes the river corridor of the River Boyd, mature woodland, scrub, steep valley slopes and unimproved limestone grassland. (https://www.goldenvalley.org.uk/wildlife.htm)

This monument is dedicated to Sir Bevil Grenville, a Royalist commander in the Civil War, who was killed in the Battle of Lansdowne on July 5, 1963. Henry Grenville, Lord Lansdown, erected the monument where his grandfather, Sir Bevil, died. Standing 25 feet (7.6 m) high, it carries an inscription on the south side describing the battle and two poems on the north side. The monument is topped by a griffin bearing the Grenville coat of arms.

Worth the leisurely climb from Kelston or from Weston (Bath). There are a few gates to get through and climb over. Recommend visiting during quieter times of the day/week as it seems to be popular with walkers (generally polite). The route towards the Lansdown Golf Course has tall gates which you have to lift your bike over - not too much a problem with a lightweight bike. There's a signpost with directions to the local cheese shop and cafe!

View up a few rocks
