EmailSwap the guidebook for running shoes and experience Bath through a relaxed sightseeing run exploring hidden streets, panoramic viewpoints and the stories woven through one of the UK’s most beautiful cities.
This experience is part of City Uncovered: Bath, taking place from 1st–14th June 2026 — a limited-time series of unique, under-the-radar experiences designed to help you see the city differently.
Led by a knowledgeable local guide, this sociable running tour takes you beyond Bath’s busiest tourist spots and into the quieter corners, secret alleyways and scenic routes most visitors never discover. Along the way, you’ll uncover iconic landmarks, tucked-away streets and sweeping views across the city while hearing stories about Bath’s history, architecture and hidden local gems.
Designed at a gentle, conversational pace with regular stops throughout, the experience blends movement, storytelling and exploration in a way that allows you to see more of the city while staying active. Expect hidden pathways, Georgian architecture, riverside stretches and surprising viewpoints that reveal Bath from a completely different perspective.
Whether you’re visiting Bath for the first time, travelling solo or rediscovering your own city, this is a memorable and immersive way to experience Bath beyond the guidebooks.
