The trail begins in the heart of Keynsham High Street. Explore the historic high street shops, discover ancient ruins and enjoy some of Keynsham’s most beautiful green spaces. The route is just over 1.5 miles. It is paved and there are no steps, but there are some steep sections in the Memorial Park and on Dapps Hill. Public toilets are available in Keynsham Library and the Memorial Park Pavilion.
The trail is also available as a free folding map which can be picked up from Keynsham Town Council office, Keynsham Library and Temple Street Canteen.
It has been co-created by Keynsham & Saltford Local History Society, Keynsham Town Council and Bath and North East Somerset Council. Our gratitude to 1st Keynsham Scouts for testing early versions of the map.
The trail is part of Keynsham’s Local Cultural Programme, a strand of Historic England’s High Streets Heritage Action Zones scheme. The Local Cultural Programme is led by Keynsham Cultural Consortium and funded by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s Heritage High Street Fund, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s Future High Streets Fund, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
