A mature mixed broadleaf woodland located on the western slopes of the Avon valley between the historic city of Bath and the picturesque market town of Bradford On Avon.

This area of woodland is clearly defined by its boundary with the A363 Bath to Bradford On Avon road to the  east and open pasture land on the lower slopes of the Avon valley to the west.  Bath Valley Wood has some spectacular views from its lower fringes along the Avon valley.

Although predominantly gently sloping there are a number of relatively flat sections at the top edge of the woodland near the access point from the A363. Here there are some interesting rock formations of the Oolitic limestone that so typifies the buildings of Bath and the surrounding area. Further up the valley side there is evidence of the former stone mines that were prolific in the locality prior to World War Two and now provide an ideal habitat for bats and other wildlife.

The local area has a comprehensive network of footpaths that pass near the wood, providing easy access to nearby villages and some excellent local pubs. Visitors to this woodland will also note the smell of wild garlic that is quite distinctive at the right time of year.

The land is covered by a development clause put in place by a previous owner. This means that if the new owner gets planning permission for a change of use before 2026 then half of the increase in value of the land that results is payable to that previous owner. Woodland management is not affected by this clause.
