What to do / see around Bristol UK

[slakjaw]

I have been looking at various places to take a vacation this summer. I follow this guys blog ProPhotoNut and I have been wanting to take one of his workshops for a long time now… I signed up for one on July 13 I will be off to Kingscote Tetbury, on the 13th but I will have a few days to bum around after that. Any must see things in that area?

Roman baths at Bath. Impressively well preserved.

Glastombury abbey. Not so well preserved but impressive nonetheless.

Stonehenge. A must.

I recall being in Bristol a few years ago and visiting all three but am not sure about the distances.

Kyle,

In Bristol: The Great Britain. First screw driven passenger liner, resting in the dry-dock in which she was built. Engines, main deck and some cabins restored, the rest a work in progress. The Matthew, a replica of John Cabot's vessel should be just across the quay. (they sailed across the Atlantic in THAT!?)
+1 on the Roman baths in Bath

Wookie Hole: Near the more well known Cheddar Gorge, but the cave tour is good and ends in a linen/rag paper mill which still makes paper by hand.

Wells: Smallest city (it has a cathedral, so is technically a city)

Glastonbury Tor. The land to the south is mostly flat. Amazing views.

Avebury Circle: North of Stonehenge. The stones are smaller, but you can touch them. The museum on site is well done.

Yeovil: A bit south of Glastonbury area, but it has the Fleet Air Arm Museum and the Haynes Museum. If you were a fan of Rob Walker, they have his DeLahaye.

We spent a week there in 2003. Loved it.
