A recent study from Sweepstakes Table analysed the major UK cities to find out which are the most walkable, and the charming city of Bath claimed the top spot. With a walkability score of 99.04, Bath was named the UK’s easiest location to visit on foot.
Visitors can see the city’s main attractions, which are within 1.3 miles of each other, taking only 29 minutes to walk between them. These include the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, and the Royal Crescent. On Reddit, a user explained: “Bath is a wonderful city to walk in. I’ve lived here for two years without a car, and it’s been a pleasure.
“The University is on a hill, so some students don’t like walking up it much and tend to get the bus. The bus can get busy at peak times. You can get a scooter halfway up the hill at the moment.
“If you’re going up five days a week for 9am, it might get annoying. But overall, no, you don’t need a car, and often you’re better off without one.”
On Tripadvisor, a visitor who recently travelled to Bath said: “Bath is incredibly beautiful. The atmosphere is romantic and good to spend all day getting to know the city.”
Another one said: "Unmissable! And if you are in London, you can make a return trip the same day and still get to know Stonehenge. The town is old, of Roman architecture, beautiful, medieval, with stone houses."
