About

Walcot ward encompasses a large portion of Bath's northern cityscape, stretching from the historic core up towards Lansdown. The area includes the steep Georgian terraces of the Walcot Street area, known for its independent workshops and antique stores, blending residential and light commercial use. The ward's boundaries extend across the London Road and up into more modern suburban developments, creating a mix of architectural periods.

The district is anchored by the busy Walcot Street, sometimes called Bath's 'artisan quarter', where traditional trades continue. A significant feature is the large Edwardian former tram depot, now repurposed for retail and community events. The terrain slopes noticeably upward, offering residents views back over the city's rooftops towards the Abbey and the surrounding hills.
