The historic Georgian city of Bath is one of the most popular city with tourists, in the UK. It is not far from Bristol, the largest city in South West England. The satelitte image shows three areas of green space that prevent them merging into one large urban space. Keynsham and Saltford have very small areas currently stopping them from joining Bristol urban sprawl. The distance from the centre of Bath to the centre of Saltford in the west, is 6.3 miles, so it is likely the largest red highlighted green area is about 3 miles wide.
