Overview

A  circular walk through Hanham Mills. 

Starting from the Chequers Inn, we follow the river bank then climb up from the River Avon through Bickley Wood which has a few ups and downs, some steps and loose stony ground.  A short section of the walk will be roadside before leading us through the picturesque Hanham Court and Cleeve Wood. This slightly elevated section of the walk gives great views towards Bath and Kelston Round Hill.

We then make our way back down towards the river bank which we follow with the red brick Cadbury factory on the opposite bank. The walk ends with a leisurely stroll across the fields bringing us back to the Chequers Inn car park.
