a tranquil walk through nature and history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Completed in 1805, this elegant stone structure was designed by John Rennie to carry the Kennet and Avon Canal over the River Avon and the Wessex Main Line railway. Built from Bath Stone with three graceful arches and Doric pilasters, the aqueduct gets its name from Charles Dundas, the first chairman of the Kennet and Avon Canal Company. As the first canal structure designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1951, it holds significant historical value and remains a Grade I listed landmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The surrounding area is ideal for walking and enjoying fresh air away from the city. The canal towpath offers scenic views of the Somerset countryside. You can start their walk from Brassknocker Basin, where facilities include a caf\u00e9, cycle hire, and boat moorings. The path is well-maintained and suitable for prams and wheelchairs, making it accessible for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether watching narrowboats glide across the aqueduct or exploring nearby trails toward Avoncliff, the site provides a peaceful and picturesque way to experience urban nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"660px\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.osmaps.com\/config?id=421612d1-1d2a-4ac5-b0a0-4a74c17c74bd\" title=\"Embedded route\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n\t\t<section id=\"block_03027c82444ba30c9855b16707c19faf\" class=\"Inner InnerButtons\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-center justify-content-md-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"InnerButtons__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/route\/1790886\/dundas-circuit?lat=51.3704&#038;lon=-2.3166&#038;zoom=13.0921&#038;style=Leisure&#038;type=2d\" class=\"Button Button--blue \" target=\"_blank\" >\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\tExplore a loop from Dundas Aqueduct through Warleigh Wood in OS Maps\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__arrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<g>\n<path d=\"M5 12H19M19 12L12 5M19 12L12 19\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<\/g>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-browne-s-folly\">Browne\u2019s Folly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1376\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/browne-folly.jpg\" alt=\"Browne's Folly\" class=\"wp-image-18494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/browne-folly.jpg 1376w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/browne-folly-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/browne-folly-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/browne-folly-768x385.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1376px) 100vw, 1376px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Browne&#8217;s Folly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nearest bus stop: <\/strong>Stone Wharf<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perched above the River Avon near Bathford, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk\/nature-reserves\/brownes-folly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Browne\u2019s Folly<\/a> nature reserve offers a rich blend of history, geology, and outdoor exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/historicengland.org.uk\/listing\/the-list\/list-entry\/1021829?section=official-list-entry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tower<\/a>, built in 1848 by quarry owner Wade Browne, was intended both as a promotional structure for Bath Stone and a way to provide employment during economic downturns.

Walkers can start from Bathford and follow circular routes that vary in difficulty, with some steep and muddy sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<section id=\"block_8bdb1d45b757276e2c1ced44abb4569f\" class=\"Inner InnerButtons\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-center justify-content-md-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"InnerButtons__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/route\/11877038\/13-brownes-folly-to-monkton-farleigh?lat=51.38737&#038;lon=-2.29696&#038;zoom=13.5808&#038;style=Leisure&#038;type=2d\" class=\"Button Button--blue \" target=\"_blank\" >\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\tExplore Browne&#039;s Folly and Bathford Hill in OS Maps\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__arrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<g>\n<path d=\"M5 12H19M19 12L12 5M19 12L12 19\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<\/g>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-alexandra-park\">Alexandra Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1376\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alexandra-park.jpg\" alt=\"Alexandra Park\" class=\"wp-image-18491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alexandra-park.jpg 1376w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alexandra-park-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alexandra-park-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alexandra-park-768x385.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1376px) 100vw, 1376px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alexandra Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nearest bus stop: <\/strong>Lyncombe Hill<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sat atop Beechen Cliff, <a href=\"https:\/\/visitbath.co.uk\/things-to-do\/alexandra-park-p23791\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alexandra Park\u2019s<\/a> 11-acre green space offers one of the most breathtaking panoramic views of Bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opened in 1902 to commemorate the coronation of Edward VII and named after Queen Alexandra, the park was developed as a public retreat from urban expansion.

The area around Warleigh Weir has long been popular for its scenic beauty and has become a well-known spot for <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/tag\/wild-swimming\/\">wild swimming<\/a>, though safety warnings are in place due to strong currents and the lack of lifeguards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The walk to Warleigh Weir is part of the Kennet and Avon Canal path, making it ideal for walkers seeking fresh air and countryside views. Starting from Brassknocker Basin or Dundas Aqueduct, the route follows the canal past narrowboats, wildflowers, and wooded banks, with occasional glimpses of swans and herons.

With design input from poet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poetryfoundation.org\/poets\/alexander-pope\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alexander Pope<\/a> and famed landscape gardener <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationaltrust.org.uk\/discover\/history\/people\/who-was-lancelot-capability-brown\">Capability Brown<\/a>, the garden became a showcase of the English landscape style, an approach that mimics natural scenery with rolling lawns, scattered trees, and reflective lakes. The centrepiece is the Palladian Bridge, built in 1755, one of only four of its kind in the world, designed to frame views and serve as a focal point rather than a functional crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, you can explore the 28-acre site via winding paths that lead through woodland, past water features, and across open meadows. The National Trust manages the garden and provides footpath access from Bath Spa Station. Be aware, the route includes a steep uphill climb. Once inside, the layout encourages slow, contemplative walking, with benches placed to enjoy views and shaded areas ideal for picnicking.
