The hill is actually called Little Solsbury Hill, it's a hill fort above Bathampton, just east of Bath. The photo was taken looking west to the Swainswick Valley, on a glorious May day, when the whole hill was covered in buttercups. It's a fantastic destination on a summers day. We did a 15 mile circular hike from Bath, following the start of the Cotswolds Way out of Bath, up to Kelston Round Hill. At the Horse race course, turn right off the Cotswolds Way, and head to Landsdown Road. Cross the road, and head across the level fields to Charlcombe Grove Farm, then descend into the valley below to go through Woolley village and to Upper Swainswick. Cross the A46, and climb up Solsbury Hill. From there descend to the south east to Bathampton, cross the River Avon and head up to the Kennet & Avon canal, which you follow back into Bath. An alternate walk up Solsbury Hill is provided by Damian Hall in the Cicerone title "Walking in the Cotswolds" - Walk 26 "Swainswick Valley and Little Solsbury Hill". That starts from a car park on the A46.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6342139/58b981c6-6447-48a7-bfe0-93a985266076.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Public Gardens, Batheaston](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6342139/cc19bc97-7dd5-4d60-bf28-dc712ef7fffa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) [Photo](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6342139/cc19bc97-7dd5-4d60-bf28-dc712ef7fffa.jpg) by [Keith Daulby](https://www.panoramio.com/user/5523357?with_photo_id=90066356) ([Creative Commons Attribution 3.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0)) --- - ![find price illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__find_price.svg) ### Explore activities Explore thousands of experiences from activities and attractions to day tours and transfer. - ![calendar shield illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__calendar_shield.svg) ### Book with ease Skip the line- book tickets online in minutes to top attractions with free cancellation on many activities. - ![trophy illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__trophy.svg) ### Treat yourself One Key members save % or more on select activities, hotels, cars and vacation rentals.
