The big draw: Bristol airport

The exquisite city of Bath is every bit as spectacular as its reputation suggests. The sweeping 18th-century Royal Crescent, recently renovated Thermae Bath Spa with its rooftop pool and fabulous Roman ruins are truly breathtaking.

Bristol

Weston-Super-Mare

Bristol airport is tantalisingly close to the coast, and Weston-Super-Mare beckons with its brand-new Grand Pier, sandy beach and gentle donkeys. The town represents Britain's seaside scene at its most quaint and traditional.
Cheddar Gorge
Distance: 12 miles
Somerset's magnificent limestone gorge in the Mendip Hills dates back an astonishing 300 million years and is an awe-inspiring sight. Visitors can go on cliff-top walks, enjoy an open-top bus tour or, for adventurous types, there's rock climbing and caving.
