I'm heading down to Bath tomorrow for a work conference and thought I'd find somewhere for an evening session.
I've been to the walls in Bristol before, but I'll be arriving fairly late so looking for something in Bath ideally. I don't think I'll be bothered to drive into Bristol after I've arrived.
Does anyone know of any small walls actually in Bath? Internet searches haven't given me much hope.

think theres one at the uni, but not sure. if youre coming down the m4 you could stop off in swindon at rockstar (https://www.facebook.com/rockstarclimbingswindon/?fref=ts) on the way?

There's an outdoor one at the uni but it's not worth travelling to unless you live on campus

There's an amazing one that I used to train on all the time as a late teenager. It had up problems and some traverses up to about V9.
It's in the woods, at the corner of Mount Beacon and Richmond Hill. Just look for the railings. It's only decent if you've had a couple of dry days though. It's basic brick edge pulling but I spent hundreds of hours down there so I'm quite fond at that shit hole :-)

Oh also Upperheadmead Rd has some easy bath stone wall traversing etc.

given last night/this morning's rain I think the outdoor options might be unpleasant...

Thanks for all the info folks.
Stopping off on the way isn't an option as I'll have colleagues in the car. Outside will be difficult as I'll probably arrive as light fades, and I don't really know the area, otherwise I'd probably have given that a go.
I'll probably try and get myself to Bristol depending on how the traffic is.

If the outdoors one at the uni is still the same, then I helped build that in 1992 :)
... and then spent many a lunchtime using it.
