Local youth charities, Off the Record and Mentoring Plus, are teaming up once again with The Bath 5k Map to offer a guided walk along Bath’s stunning skyline, raising vital funds to support young people’s mental health and well-being.
Join them, along with Bathscape and Walk Bath, for a day of nature, heritage, and connection.
The route
Our walk will start and finish at The Brownlow Pavillion, Prior Park College, heading across Combe Down to Fox Hill and Lyncombe Vale.
The walk will be led and guided by a collaboration of Bathscape, Walk Bath and The Bath 5k Map, bringing the nature and heritage of the route to life and of course encouraging talking and connection along the way! This walk concludes mental health awareness week, aiming to promote the positive impact of connection with our local landscape and community.

Tickets are £5 per person, with proceeds going to Off The Record and Mentoring Plus – supporting children and young people to improve their mental health and wellbeing. You can get your tickets here – mentoringplusbathnortheastsomerset

Walk Bath is a National Lottery Community Funded walking group who walk every Saturday at 9am (and Wednesday at 6pm through the summer).
