The landscape surrounding Bath was a key location for the development of the Picturesque movement in the late 18th and early 19th century and Dr Amy Frost leads a walk revealing how Jane Austen and William Beckford explored the ideas in fiction and reality on 6 and 12 September.

Walkers are also welcome to explore the Forest of Imagination at Entry Hill (23 September - 5 October), which sees a former golf course covered with imaginative, nature-based installations.
