Further Afield
Although Bath has plenty to offer, it would be a mistake to ignore the surrounding area. Bristol is only nine miles away; an easy bus or train journey. It's a large, bustling, maritime city with a fascinating history and great facilities. Bristol is an excellent place to visit, and students from Bath Spa find it a very popular alternative to Bath for a night out.
9 miles from Bristol, 90 minutes from London!
By day, Bristol is a great place to explore too with famous visitor attractions such as the Clifton Suspension Bridge, @Bristol and the SS Great Britain. It has an unbelievable choice of restaurants, bistros, wine bars and pubs - and it also has a superb club scene. Major rock bands regularly play in Bristol, and there are concerts to suit every musical taste, from classical to opera and jazz. Bristol is also well placed for arts-lovers, with an impressive range of theatres, cinemas and galleries, from the Watershed Centre to the Old Vic Theatre.
Bath is in an area steeped in history and tradition. Glastonbury, with its famous Tor and Abbey, is close - and, of course, is also the home of the UK's biggest annual music festival. Cheddar Caves and Wookey Hole are popular tourist attractions, and the beautiful coastline of Dorset and Devon are within easy reach for a day out.
