In the path of the Emperor
A small and unofficial-looking marker states that the former Ethiopian ruler, Haile Selassie, walked this riverside path during his time here. Selassie was exiled and lived in Bath from 1936-41, living in nearby Fairfield House - a residence he bought and donated to the city when he left.

Poetry on the banks
A wooden board bears a bit of poetry. It read:
'The River Avon, by Carrie Etter
In tree-shadow, on a dirt path,
we walk in the cool
alongside the river.
A crow perches on a post,
a heron on the opposite bank
perfects stillness, slows
our pace. Overhead,
in the green boughs, twitter
and chirp, rustle andtwitch
the river brims with wings.
For a long hour
we loiter. We thrive.'
