Bathscape Walking Festival – Food on Our Plates Walk

As part of the Bathscape Walking Festival, Transition Bath is leading a walk that celebrates growing sites where local people tend crops to end up on their dinner plate.

The first visit is to the new Roots allotment site at Newbridge, where individual plot holders grow for their own use. After an introduction to this organic, no-dig site, we‘ll join the riverside path back to near the city centre, with a brief summary of points of historical interest along the way.

The second visit is to the well-established community garden of Bath Organic Group at the Lower Common site. Here people grow and share crops, as well as creating surpluses for the monthly Farmers’ Market stall.

Location: The walk is three miles, starting at Newbridge Park & Ride and finishing at the Lower Common site, on the Upper Bristol Road (where you can get the bus back to the P&R).
