Situation

Widcombe is a fashionable area of Bath with good level pedestrian access to Bath Spa Station and the city centre. The convenience and popularity of the shops, bars and independent businesses of Widcombe Parade is a major factor for this desirable address. There is a wine bar, a popular pub which has recently incorporated the Widcombe Deli, as well as a florist, convenience store, doctors, dentist, architects practice and coffee shop. It also benefits from a rural quality being close to the National Trust-owned land including the gardens and famous Palladian Bridge of Prior Park. There is a very pretty walk along Church Lane to the St Thomas à Becket Church, plus the Kennet and Avon Canal, perfect for walkers and cyclists alike. Bath University is located at the top of the hill and sought after schools including Widcombe Primary, Paragon Prep, Prior Park College, and King Edwards are all in the vicinity.
