Location: Alexandra Park, Bath
Perched above Widcombe, Alexandra Park offers magnificent panoramic views over Bath and its surrounding hills and wooded vales, best reached via the challenging Jacob’s Ladder steps up from Bath Spa station through Beechen Cliff. Free to enter and open year-round, the park has plenty to offer, from a children’s play area, bowling green and petanque terrain to an outdoor table tennis table and spring bulb displays. With good links to nearby walks and the Beechen Cliff woodland close by, it’s a great spot to combine a scenic stroll with sweeping city views.
