Rail holidays in the West Country

From the street art of Stokes Croft to the Georgian terraces of Clifton, the buzzing harbourside to the old Norman city, Bristol houses a smorgasbord of neighbourhoods to explore.

Renowned for its Roman Baths and Georgian architecture, Bath has been a spa destination since ancient times, with iconic landmarks like the Royal Crescent and Pulteney Bridge.

A lovely itinerary taking in local buses. Visit Cheddar (the village and the famous gorge) and genteel Bath, where you can walk or cycle along the canal to Bristol.
