The River Avon Embankment in Bath is set to undergo a significant transformation, with a £10m project aiming to improve the area's biodiversity and accessibility. The project, led by Bath and North East Somerset Council, will see the embankment restored to its natural state, with the addition of new wetlands and wildlife habitats. The scheme is expected to take around two years to complete, with work due to start in summer 2024.
According to the council, the project will not only enhance the area's natural beauty but also provide new opportunities for local residents and visitors to engage with the River Avon. The embankment will be made more accessible, with new paths and viewpoints allowing people to enjoy the area's historic and natural significance.
The River Avon Embankment is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike, and the transformation is set to make it an even more attractive destination. The project is part of the council's wider efforts to improve the area's biodiversity and reduce its carbon footprint.
