Long Wood is a beautiful section of woodland located along the Bath Skyline trail on Claverton Down. The woods feature an elf and fairy foray where you can discover 22 fairy doors hidden in the trees, a great activity for the younger ones.

The Mole Hill

Highlight • Rest Area

The coffee cart is found in a field just off the Bath Skyline walk near the popular Rainbow Woods. Grab a coffee and a cake and take it for a stroll or sit and enjoy it on one of the hay bales provided as seating.
It's normally open weekends from 10:00 - 16:00 but is a bit weather dependent so don't absolutely bank on it.

Bath Skyline Parkrun

Highlight • Trail

The Bath Skyline Parkrun is a fun and free 5km race/run that's held here every Saturday at 9:00. The race starts on Claverton Down east of this point and loops around Rainbow Woods along this trail and then back across the fields to the start, it's all off road but mostly on a gravel surface so never very muddy.
The route follows some of the longer Bath Skyline route, a National Trust loop of the Bathampton Down and Claverton Down area of highland around the university and east of the city.
