Welcome to Beechen Cliff

Beechen Cliff is a stunning location in Somerset that offers breathtaking views of the city of Bath. The cliff is located on the southern edge of the city and is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. The cliff is named after the beech trees that grow on its slopes, which provide a beautiful backdrop to the panoramic views of the city. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the cliff path and enjoy the stunning views of Bath's skyline, including the iconic Royal Crescent and Bath Abbey.

Beechen Cliff is also a popular spot for outdoor activities such as hiking and rock climbing. The cliff is made up of limestone and offers a range of climbing routes for both beginners and experienced climbers. The cliff is also home to a variety of wildlife, including birds of prey such as peregrine falcons and kestrels. Visitors can enjoy watching these magnificent birds soaring above the cliff, hunting for their prey.

In addition to its natural beauty, Beechen Cliff also has a rich history. The cliff was once the site of a Roman fort, and visitors can still see the remains of the fort's walls and ditches. The fort was built in the 1st century AD and was used to defend the city of Bath from invaders. Today, visitors can explore the fort's ruins and learn about its fascinating history. Overall, Beechen Cliff is a must-visit destination for anyone visiting Somerset, offering stunning views, outdoor activities, and a rich history.
