Behind the scenes...
Submitted by Simon on 30 September 2011 - 8:37pmIt's been very quiet here on the website and on the Events front over the past few months, but there have been a number of activities progressing unseen in the background.
Firstly we've been considering various options for interpretative signs to provide information about the Roundhill. Joe has done some fantastic research on the history of the hill and the surrounding landscape - click the image to view the full detail. We are working with the council to agree on the type of sign and arrange production and installation.
Twerton Roundhill is an open space in Southdown on the south-western edge of Bath. It is owned and maintained by Bath and North-East Somerset Council. From the top of Roundhill you can enjoy 360 degree panoramic views across the city, over fields and woodland looking towards Wells, and past the Severn Bridges to the Welsh hills. The site was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 1994 and is managed to provide a habitat for many species of wild flower, butterflies and other wildlife.
