Countryside

Bath and Bristol are two cities separated and surrounded by lush English countryside. They offer their own unique experiences and complement each other perfectly.

For the best of both worlds, visitors have a variety of options to stay outside the city in the surrounding countryside. The Avon and Chew Valleys both have enviable views and walking/hiking and cycling routes whereas the Cotswolds offer the quintessentially English scene of historic honey-coloured houses surrounded by lush green countryside and quaint tea rooms. The North Somerset coastline offers great scenery and views across the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary towards South Wales. Take time to enjoy the bustling cities and rest up in your own bit of a country pile.

There are many rural attractions from animal parks to historic castles and outdoor pursuits, many of which are listed below.

Explore the region with various day trip options:

South to the Mendips and Somerset towns of Glastonbury, Cheddar and Wells
South-east into Wiltshire and Stonehenge
North into the Cotswolds
West into South Wales

See our geographic guides pages for further inspiration.
