Take time to visit some of the beautiful Towns and Cities in the South West
| Wells
Nestling at the foot of the Mendip Hills is England's smallest city. Close to the Somerset Levels, Wells is a real treasure. The west front of Wells Calthedral holds over 200 pieces of medieval sculptures, and the three towers make this a spectacular building which dates from the 13th century. The famous 14th century clock still has the joisting horsemen who emerge every quarter of an hour. Just a few minutes walk from the Cathedral is The Bishop's Palace, a majestic building set within fortified walls and a moat. The Palace is surrounded by 14 acres of beautiful gardens and grounds. | Bath
The Roman Baths and Pump Room site at Bath is one of Britain's best known, most spectacular and most frequently visited ancient monuments. The state of preservation of the ancient monument is exceptional. The Roman Baths and Temple complex entirely surrounds the largest of the three hot springs at Bath. In Roman times these sources of hot water were something for which there was no natural explanation, so they were considered to be the work of the Gods. There is so much to see and do in Bath, other notable attractions are The Royal Crescent, Bath Abbey, varied museums and galleries including The Museum of costume and all this can be enjoyed combined with great shopping and wonderful cafes and restaurants. | Bristol
There is plenty to discover in Bristol. The influences of days past are all around, from the city's maritime heritage to the marvels of Brunel's Bristol - a legacy of Victorian engineering that changed the face of the city forever. The modern development of Harbourside and Temple Quay sit comfortably next to the Old City, and the many parks and gardens provide a breath of fresh air in the middle of a busy day. |
