Cannon Clarke Stadium @ Twerton Park

Bath City Football Club's home ground sits on the outskirts of Bath, a modest stadium that punches above its weight for non-league football fans. Twerton Park isn't glamorous - you're looking at proper grassroots sport here, the kind where you can actually chat to players after the match if you fancy it. The Cannon Clarke Stadium itself is functional rather than fancy, but there's something rather appealing about that authenticity.

Football enthusiasts will find plenty to appreciate, especially if you're into following teams outside the Premier League circus. Bath City has serious history - they've got a real following locally and the atmosphere on match days is genuinely friendly. You'll get a genuine sense of community sport that you simply won't find at bigger grounds. The stadium holds around 5,000 capacity, so you're never crowded out.

If you're staying at Bath Mill Lodge Retreat just up the road - literally 0.6 miles away - catching a midweek evening fixture is dead convenient. Even non-football types might enjoy the relaxed vibe and local food offerings on match days. Check their fixture list before you book your holiday; a weekend match day at Twerton adds a proper local flavour to a Bath break.

Non-match days are less appealing - you can't really explore the ground without an event on. Budget an evening rather than an afternoon, and bring the whole family if they're into the sport. It's the sort of thing that either delights you or leaves you cold depending on your tolerance for grassroots football.
