Location & Local Attractions
There are plenty of footpaths running through the village, between cottage gardens, and out into the gorgeous green countryside beyond. You can walk between Norton St Philip and the southern edge of Bath, a lovely route leading across fields and parkland and through woods, via the villages of Hinton Charterhouse, Limpley Stoke, and Monkton Combe. The village's position on the Bath-Frome bus route is a great one for dog walkers, allowing you to enjoy a walk and return by bus, or hop off the bus to walk from other villages along the route.
