Wide open space overlooking the World Heritage City of Bath
Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 April: This spring why not bring the family along to Rainbow Wood Farm to meet the new arrivals?
Explore the Bath Skyline along miles of waymarked footpaths. There is the Walk to the view - a circular three miles from the city centre out to the countryside and back, a circular 2 miles around the Family Discovery Trail, accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs, or the full six miles of the ever-popular Bath Skyline walk.
Discover hidden valleys, rich in limestone flowers and tranquil beech woodlands, interspersed with extensive views over Bath and out towards the Blackdown Hills.
The limestone grassland slopes support a variety of plants and attract a number of butterflies, great for some spring and summer wildlife spotting.
Away from the main Bath Skyline walk, the Iron Age fort on Little Solsbury Hill offers the perfect vantage point for spectacular views over Bath. The skylark has also made its home here. Listen out for their distinctive song, a warbling of short trills, in late spring.
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
