Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Cheddar Gorge & Caves

"Its biggest draw, the Roman Baths complex, cleverly makes the most of the city’s ancient foundations, while the words of former resident Jane Austen bring more recent history to life. Today, Bath remains a centre for wellness, with a modern, multi-level thermal spa that taps into its underground vein of rich mineral waters. Such beautiful surroundings attract creative types and there is a wealth of independent shops, markets and eateries. The surrounding countryside bears quality produce in abundance, so Bath is brimming with semi-rural farm shops, artisanal coffee houses, vegan and vegetarian bistros, contemporary brasseries and gourmet restaurants."

"The Roman bathing complex has been redeveloped many times over the centuries, and you can visit the museum there now to rifle through the many layers of history. Above ground the current buildings mostly date to the 19th century and there are statues of Emperors and the Governors of Roman Britain on the terrace. The first-rate museum here takes you below street level to the Roman Sacred Spring, Temple of Minerva and Roman Bathhouse, and shows off the many wonderful finds made around the spring."

"The hot springs have drawn people here since prehistoric times, so it's quite appropriate to begin an exploration of Bath at this excellent…"

"One of the biggest and best cultural institutions in the city, the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery is a great place to get lost in an exhibition or to spend a rainy afternoon.

"The Bristol Museum is located on Park Street and is a great spot to learn more about the city. There are exhibitions about Bristol, the surrounding area and further afield, including an ever-popular Ancient Egyptians exhibit. It’s free to enter, so it’s well worth popping in and seeing what you find!"

"Ah the Clifton Suspension Bridge, the structure that makes Bristol complete. Built in 1831 by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the suspension bridge is one of Bristol’s most recognisable structures. Spanning 214 metres over the River Avon, Brunel marked a major turning point in the history of the city with this bridge that has become an icon of engineering ambition."

"Crossing the Avon, the Palladian Pulteney Bridge is the work of the Scottish architect Robert Adam and dates to 1774. The monument grabs your attention for the rows of shops along its 45-metre span and is of the most photographed monuments in Bath’s World Heritage centre. The bridge is named for Frances Pulteney, the wife of William Pulteney, who funded this and many other projects around the city, and was rumoured to have been the richest man in Britain at the time."

"Pulteney Bridge situated on River Avon is an exceptional Palladian style designed by Robert Adam. This Palladian style, one of only four bridges in the world, is lined with small shops across its full span on both sides. This historic bridge is named after Frances Pulteney, wife of William Johnstone Pulteney, an influential man in Georgian Bath."

"Adjacent to Wells Cathedral is another must see place, called Vicars’ Close. It is apparently the oldest residential street in Europe!. The first houses along this street were built in the mid 14th century and it was home to a group of chantry priests."

"Bars and pubs Breweries. When it opened its’ doors in 2004, Zerodegrees was like nothing Bristol had seen before: an architecturally impressive bar, restaurant and microbrewery perched precariously in the steep space between Colston Street, Christmas Steps and Park Row."

"Zerodegrees has a gorgeous suntrap of a terrace, ideal for sinking pints and chomping on freshly-baked pizza. Nestled on the corner of Colston Street and Park Row, it's in prime position for post-lockdown hangouts."

"Looked after by English heritage, the Glastonbury Tribunal is a 15th-century merchant’s house with a slightly later Tudor facade. Inside, the ground floor is a tourist information centre, but if you go upstairs is the Glastonbury Lake Museum run by the local antiquarian society. The building has lots of riveting period details, like a Tudor Rose and coat of arms of Abbot Richard Beere (1493-1524) above the entrance."
