Bath and Bristol are two cities separated and surrounded by lush English countryside. They offer their own unique experiences and complement each other perfectly. Just 12 minutes apart by train (30-40 mins by road, 90 minutes by bike or 5 hours by boat!) it is entirely possible to stay in one city and still enjoy the other. Each city has a very walkable city centre area as well as reliable public transport and even electric scooters for hire.
Greater Bristol is a sprawling urban area including many diverse neighbourhoods, each with their own distinct character and history. Bath is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, formed by the Romans as Aquae Sulis and shaped by the Georgians as an indulgent spa destination. Both cities have a fantastic shopping offer, complimented by permanent and regular markets.
Stay in the city to really get a feel for the destination and experience everything they have to offer.
