Bear Flat, Residential district in southern Bath, England
Bear Flat sits on a plateau south of Bath city center, connected by the Wellsway road and surrounded by green spaces including Alexandra Park.
The name originates from Anglo-Saxon 'Berewick', meaning a settlement near a barley field, while the area contained Barrack Farm until the 19th century.
The neighborhood features an annual open studios event during Spring Bank Holiday weekend where local artists display and sell their creations.
The area contains essential amenities including a Co-op supermarket, pharmacies, independent cafes, and restaurants within walking distance of Bath Spa station.
The Combe Down Tunnel, Britain's longest unventilated rail tunnel at 1700 meters, now serves as part of the Two Tunnels Greenway cycling route.
