Cardiff: Just across the Severn Estuary is Cardiff, the vibrant capital city of Wales. Only an hour away by car, Cardiff is a friendly city that loves rugby, is full of history and has one of the best food scenes in the UK. Visit the Millennium Stadium, step back in time to the 19th century at Cardiff Castle, and enjoy some of the famed Welsh produce at Cardiff’s farmers market.

Bath: The Roman town of Bath is only a 45-minute drive from Bristol. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ancient town shot to fame because of its hot springs and the Roman-built spa baths. Today, you can enjoy elegant Georgian architecture at the Royal Crescent, buy some unique art in Bath’s Artisan Quarter and try a Sally Lunn bun (a local delicacy, which is part bread and part cake). The city is still known for its spas, so take a dip and unwind in its famous waters.

Cheddar Gorge: Cheddar Gorge is the UK’s biggest gorge, home to caves that are full of stalactites and stalagmites. Located in Cheddar, the home of cheddar cheese, this natural landmark has been popular with walkers, cavers, climbers and tourists alike. The gorge has housed humans since prehistoric times, and you can learn about the discovery of Cheddar Man (the UK’s oldest complete skeleton) at the Museum of Prehistory.
