Food Scene

This is THE brunch destination. It can be crowded and a bit chaotic but the space is divine (light and modern), you're next to some great shopping and there is choice for all. You can eat vegan breakfast whilst someone else tucks into a meaty lunch. Reasonable prices and really tasty food. Good ethics (they don't do disposable cups and they buy organic etc).

Gastro pub - one of a few such as Chequers in the same area. Simple menu, good food, casual vibe, lovely garden. Great for romantic supper/Sunday lunch/fish and chips in the garden.

Stop here for coffee and cake or a lovely fresh lunch before walking along the river from Widcombe Lock. You can walk to the George and back (the pub is nothing special but you can have a drink there, lovely walk) or all the way to Bradford on Avon.

Green Park has a few eateries - pizza, vegan, and every Saturday, the Green Park market offers veg, coffee and all kinds of yummy food. Your bus no 5 will stop right by the market or you can walk there along the river.

Simple brunch and lunch menu. Personally I would head here for a coffee and a slab of cake and enjoy it whilst sitting in the sun outside, people watching. Also has a great interiors shop and clothing range in the same venue. Generous slices of cake!

Arts & Culture

I don't need to comment on why this would be a destination! The obligatory tourist photo spot. Stop on the Crescent for a picnic. Stroll up Margaret's Buildings for coffee and vintage clothing. Walk along the Crescent and peer into the gardens/admire the art in the fine homes...stop at the Royal Crescent hotel for a glass of fiz, then then walk up Marlborough Buildings and stop at the Marlborough Tavern for pub grub, uphill on the golf course and soak up the incredible views.

I would pop in here before a canal-side walk. I'd explore Great Pulteney Street and wander through Henrietta Gardens with a coffee and book in hand.

Drinks & Nightlife

I would stop here for a glass of fizz on a sunny day. On the iconic Royal Crescent, this garden is civilised and hidden away. Not cheap to eat or drink but for a special glass of something this is a great spot.

This has the lovely Botanical Gardens, a skatepark and great to then walk up the golf course from and admire the views. Whilst here you can walk to the Royal Crescent. Perfect for picnics and relaxation.

Not the most exciting area in my opinion (Bear Flat, family residential area near the busy Wellsway) but this park has an almost 360 degree view of Bath and is great to sit and relax. Not far from Widcombe and the lovely canal walks there.

This is a beautiful woodland. You absolutely need a car to get here. Not cheap to gain entry but lovely walks, a fab gift shop and the village of Tetbury is full of antique shops and charming places to have tea and cake.

This is a stunning National Trust location. No car park so it's a walk/Uber uphill but worth it. Just so pretty to admire the views. Some walking but not hiking as such once you're in. Little hut does basic snacks and cakes.

Entertainment & Activities

This is a petting (and working) farm which you can walk to from the flat. Cross fields and discover lambs, goats, ponies, pigs, chickens and pretty flowers. You can head down to Twerton High Street from here.

Essentials

I personally use this store because it has most things and is reasonably priced. I would go here at the end of the day and then get on the number 5 bus from the Bath Brewery stop, meaning not having to carry heavy bags around.

This is a foodstore about a 15 minute walk from the flat (or on your way home from town/sightseeing). Fresh produce and prepared meals; high quality.
