Bath is blessed with bursts of greenery almost round every corner. Georgian developments draped themselves over the green hills and meadows around the old city centre. Open spaces preserved a sense of connection with the countryside. The triangle of Green Park was once a communal garden for the residents of the late Georgian terraces to east and west. Now only the western terrace survives. On the south the park dips down to the River Avon, with access to a riverside walk.
