The first pedal stroke drops you into a city shaped by stone and water — narrow streets open to broad Georgian crescents as the Kennet and Avon Canal dares you toward the river's edge. On a two‑hour guided ride through Bath you'll move from Medieval walls to the high, honeyed facades of the Royal Crescent, pausing where the canal unfolds sweeping views over the city and wildlife threads the route.

Helmet Provided — Wear It
Helmets are included but always fasten and adjust; cobbles and sudden vehicle turns make head protection essential.
Watch for Cobblestones & Tramlines
Slow down where streets narrow—cobbled surfaces and tramlines can catch thin tyres; choose a steady line.
Bring a Small Water Bottle
The ride is short but active—carry a refillable bottle or use nearby cafés; guides may pause near water points.
Morning or Late Afternoon for Wildlife
Kingfishers and grey herons are likelier near quieter canal sections at lower light; pick off‑peak slots for better sightings.
Closed‑toe walking shoes
Stable shoes help on cobbles and when dismounting to sightsee.
Light waterproof jacket
Weather in Bath can change quickly; a packable rain shell keeps you comfortable.
