Bristol is a place nestled in a glorious countryside of rolling hills, dramatic gorges and coastal villages. If you can drag yourself away from the city, there is so much natural beauty to enjoy.

What’s even better is Bristol has great public transport connections, and there are plenty of tours from Bristol too. That means you’ll be able to get to many of these places listed here even if you don’t have your own car.

Bristol embodies the beauty of the west country, and there are so many unique activities nearby. From feeding a giraffe at Longleat Safari to exploring Glastonbury, you’re in for an amazing time whatever you choose to do.

So, if you’re headed this way and you’re looking for what to do near Bristol, here is my list of recommendations. Pick one of these things and I guarantee nothing but good times ahead.

Day trips from Bristol

Stonehenge tours from bristol.

Ahhh, the mysterious beauty of Stonehenge. For the last 4000-5000 years, the prehistoric monument of Stonehenge has delighted people from all over the world. As one of the most iconic monuments in the United Kingdom , a trip to Stonehenge is always one of the most popular day trips from Bristol.

Let someone else take over the driving and take advantage of the Stonehenge tours from Bristol. Both private and group tours can be arranged and prices include entry, transport and audio guides. Some tours even include a trip to Lacock and Avebury, or to Salisbury. You can check out these tours either with Greenman Tours or Mad Max Tours .

Alternatively, you can pick up a ticket to Stonehenge that includes a queue jump here. This is great for those of you who are short on time and like planning ahead.

Bristol boat trip with afternoon tea

How does learning about the fascinating maritime history of Bristol while taking in the sights from the water and indulging in a scone and a nice cup of tea sound to you? If you answered “Great!”, then the Bristol boat trip with afternoon tea is for you.

The afternoon tea cruise sails for 2 hours and is known for its humorous and informative commentary.  You’ll understand what we mean by that once you’ve taken the tour.

Tours from Bristol’s Wapping Wharf normally run on Wednesdays, Sundays and bank holidays. Be sure to book in advance to avoid being disappointed.

Longleat Safari and Adventure Park

Koalas, hippos, lions, cheetahs, monkeys, zebras and Anne the rescued circus elephant are all waiting to greet you at the Longleat Safari and Adventure Park .

Just 30 miles away, this safari will provide one of the most unique day trips from Bristol for the whole family. You can purchase a ticket for the on-site bus tour, or feel like you’re on a real adventure and drive your own vehicle through.

Aside from an abundance of animals, the park provides mazes, boat cruises, Longleat house and gardens, and a kid’s adventure playground. You can even hand feed birds and giraffes too. It goes without saying, but this really is one of the best activities for kids around. There are so many learning opportunities for them, so it’s fun and educational.

Loneleat has a very good ethical and ecology record too. They are a very sustainable organisation and their animal welfare is top notch.

Westonbirt Arboretum

Located in the Cotswolds, the Westonbirt Arboretum boasts an amazing collection of trees from all over the world. Spend your day exploring some of the many nature trails, identifying flora and fauna using the Westonbirt Arboretum’s Plant and Flower Spotter’s Guide, or snap drool-worthy photos along the Picture Perfect trail.

While this is an amazing place to cool down in summer, there are also fun activities for all seasons, including a Christmas light show, a tree top walkway and Gruffalo trail for the kids. The site also features an on-site shop, restaurant and outdoor play areas. Basically, there really is something for everyone here which is why we love it!

Cheddar Gorge

Cheese and nature lovers unite and make your way to Cheddar Gorge! At 137m (449ft) deep and 4.8km (2.98 miles) long, Cheddar Gorge is the largest gorge in England. This is also the place where Cheddar Man, the oldest complete human skeleton in Britain was found. Two records in one!

Surrounded by natural beauty, the best way to enjoy this gorge is by taking a circular 4-mile walk. The national trust recommended route takes you past the pinnacles and caves, and provides stunning views.

After some good fresh air, make your way to a cheese making tour and learn the history of the iconic cheese named after the area. Don’t forget to try a few samples too.

Glastonbury Tor Walk

Free day trips from Bristol can provide breathtaking views and a full day’s entertainment without splashing any cash. The Glastonbury Tor Walk, for example, is one of the best hikes in Somerset, and that’s saying something! This popular walk takes you from the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey to the summit of Glastonbury Tor.

The circular walk is around 2 miles and there is a fairly moderate climb to the top of the hill. At the top you’ll find St Michael’s Tower, an old 15th century church tower with some of the best views of England.

One of the best bits about this walk is you’ll end up in Glastonbury itself. That means you can finish off your walk with a pub lunch or afternoon tea.

With its gorgeous 18 th century Georgian architecture, Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage City, in fact the only one in the UK. Located just 13 miles away, Bath is very easy to get to from Bristol. What makes this day trip even better is that there are great public transport connections between the two cities and it is very easy exploring Bath on foot, so you don’t need a car for this one.

The Roman Baths are of course a key place to visit, however Bath offers so much more. While you’re here, take a stroll through Queens Square, enjoy the architecture of the houses in Circus and Royal Crescent areas, visit the Bath Abbey and enjoy the views at Pulteney Weir.

One of the best ways of experience Bath is on a walking tour of the city . On a tour like this you’ll see all the top sites – this tour also includes entry into the Roman Baths afterwards too which is a bonus.

Have you been picturing yourself tiptoeing down cobbled streets, surrounded by quaint stone houses with thatched roofs? Or perhaps taking cream teas by the river? Then the Cotswolds are the villages near Bristol to visit for you.

Located 55 miles north-east of Bristol, the Cotswolds are made up of many villages and towns, each seemingly more gorgeous that the last! But where to start?

With a small river running through the centre, boutique shopping and cream teas a plenty, Burton-On-Water is a great pick. For quintessential cobbled streets, stone houses, thatched roofs, and English pubs, make your way to Castle Comb. Go to Stow-on-the-Wold for tea rooms, manors and museums, or Tetbury for a round of antiquing. You can discover the best villages in the Cotswolds in our blog post here.

Llanddwyn Island, Anglesey

Llanddwyn Island isn’t quite an island – it’s just about attached to the mainland – but it does offer some of the best views of the stunning North Wales coastline.

One of the highlights here is the Tŵr Mawr lighthouse (that’s ‘Great Tower lighthouse’ in English). This is an old lighthouse that dates back to 1845 and it’s become one of the most photogenic spots in Wales.

It’s also the perfect place to spot some wildlife. Seals are often seen relaxing in the sun on the rocks below. Also, if you’re lucky, you can see dolphins and occasionally minke whales in the area too. This is genuinely one of my favourite spots in Wales. If you get here on a hot and sunny day it definitely does not feel like you’re in the UK at all!

Weston-Super-Mare

Just 18 miles south-west of Bristol, and conveniently connected by public transport, sits the Victorian seaside town of Weston-Super-Mare. Providing long stretches of beach, ice cream stands and donkey rides, a day trip here should be on your list of what to do near Bristol. Especially during the summer when it is a real holiday hotspot.

The town itself also offers plenty to keep you entertained. For example, visiting The Bishop’s Palace and Gardens which is complete with moat and drawbridge. Or visiting The Grand Pier, an indoor amusement park set over the water, great for families on rainy days.

Wookey Hole

Looking for fun day trips from Bristol for families? Then come and explore the world from underground at Wookey Hole . Wookey Hole’s main attraction is a system of underground caves. In fact, they are the largest show caves in England!

Now lit up and equipped with walking paths, this system of caves was once home to cavemen thousands of years ago. More than just caves, admission includes access to mini golf, mirror mazes and a fairy garden. You can also walk through the valley of dinosaurs, play on vintage penny arcade machines and enjoy indoor and outdoor play areas. As I said, this is such a great place for families – all you big kids will love it too.

The city of Salisbury, on the south eastern side of Wiltshire is steeped with history. In fact, the Salisbury Cathedral is home to one of the original Magna Cartas! The medieval cathedral itself is the place of pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands each year, and it has the tallest spire in Britain.

Be sure to take some time wandering the streets and admiring the buildings that have stood here for hundreds of years. Including a stroll through the High Street Gate, built in the early 1300s and was once used to lock up convicted criminals. Then head over to 700-year-old The Haunch of Venison for a spot of lunch that will delight your taste buds.

Tintern Abbey

Just over the border in Wales on the banks of the River Wye sits the Tintern Abbey. This majestic ruin was founded in 1131 by Walter de Clare, Lord of Chepstow for Cistercian monks.

In 1537 the abbey was dissolved and has since been left to nature’s forces. Though roofless, the walls are standing and you can still spot many distinctive features of this Early English to Decorated Gothic style structure.

Take a guided history tour, wander through the surrounding countryside and enjoy refreshments at the on-site cafe.

Great public transport – what are you on about. Lived in Bristol all of my life and spent about half of it waiting for buses that never came

We’ve always found a lot of the public transport options to the places listed okay. Agree, getting around the city itself can be frustrating at times. Fingers crossed it improves in the future!

23 Best Day Trips From Bristol (Suggestions From A Local)

One of the many things we love about living in Bristol is how you only need to drive for 45 minutes and technically be in a new country , or drive for just 90 minutes and be in stunning Devon.

What this means is that there are so many epic day trips from Bristol you can take ensuring every weekend is unique. Here are our favourite days out near Bristol…

Best Day Trips From Bristol

Berkeley castle.

– Approx 20 miles (45 minutes away from Bristol by car)

We’ve recently discovered Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire and it was such a fun day out!

Berkeley Castle is roughly 45 minutes north of Bristol. Here, you’ll find a historic 12th-century castle, which many kings, queens and famous people have frequented over the years.

Like King Edward II who was imprisoned and tortured here. Or Sir Francis Drake who was a friend of the Berkeleys.

The current Berkeley family still live in the castle, so some of the rooms aren’t open to the public and the castle is only open on certain days of the year.

However, there’s still plenty to explore inside and throughout the grounds. It’s even been used as a filming location for various period dramas like Poldark and Wolf Hall.

When we visited, there was even a medieval sword fighting re-enactment happening, which was included in the price of our ticket and very entertaining to watch!

– Approx 13 miles (45 minutes away from Bristol by car, 10 minutes by train)

Just 10 minutes away by train, the city of Bath is the very essence of English idyll.

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, Bath offers lots for culture and history lovers. There are the Ancient Roman baths, a stunning abbey, Jane Austen-inspired attractions and stunning botanical gardens.

And as Bath is a very walkable city, it’s easy to see the highlights of Bath in just one day (without rushing).

On your next visit, why not consider walking part of the Cotswold Way ? This infamous 102-mile-long route starts/ends outside Bath Abbey. And you can look forward to such stunning views along this stretch, such as this one from the Prospect Stile Viewpoint.

Bowood House and Gardens

– Approx 32.5 miles (55 minutes away from Bristol by car)

If you feel like escaping the hustle and bustle of the city for the day, then why not visit Bowood House and Gardens in Wiltshire?

This historic 100-acre estate is privately owned by the current Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne and is less than an hour’s drive away from Bristol.

Here, you’ll find a stunning Grade I listed Georgian property nestled within a picturesque estate that features grottoes, temples, a waterfall and even an arboretum (or pinetum).

No wonder Bowood House and Gardens has graced our silver screens time and time again, such as within ITV’s period drama, Sanditon and the infamous Poldark TV series .

Please note that the Bowood estate is closed to the public through winter, but you can visit daily between April and November.

Slimbridge Wetland Centre

– Approx 26 miles (45 minutes away from Bristol by car)

Slimbridge is just 30 minutes up the M5 from Bristol and offers a great day out for all involved.

It’s brimming full of birds, ducks, swans and geese — you can even feed some of them from the palm of your hand!

There are always various special events happening to keep children entertained such as giant Lego trails and specialist talks, and if you’re not visiting with kids, it promises a relaxing walk through trees and by the water’s edge… lovely!

– Approx 23.5 miles (1 hour away from Bristol by car)

Frome in Somerset is a beautiful and historic town, which is roughly 25 miles away from the centre of Bristol.

In less than an hour’s drive, you could be perusing knick-knacks in various independent stores and wandering along cobblestoned streets that time forgot.

This is the perfect town to while away a few hours. You can even combine it with a trip to Farleigh Hungerford Castle , which is just 10 miles north of Frome and makes for an interesting visit.

Cheddar Gorge

– Approx 20 miles (50 minutes away from Bristol by car)

Cheddar Gorge in Somerset offers a lot in the way of a great day trip from Bristol.

You can visit the giant caves and learn how cheese is made, you can walk the gorge itself and view stunning landscapes from above, or munch on tasty treats such as cheese, ice cream and fudge from the quaint shops lining the winding rivers.

Painswick Rococo Garden

– Approx 37 miles (1 hour away from Bristol by car)

Roughly an hour’s drive north of Bristol, you’ll find the charming Cotswold town of Painswick. And one of Painswick’s most loved attractions is the Painswick Rococo Garden .

Here, you’ll find stunning pieces of 17th-century architecture (influenced by a European art movement) nestled among carefully landscaped gardens.

While the flora and fauna are a joy to see, the architectural pieces and water features elevate this garden above most others.

Cotswolds Water Park

– Approx 39 miles (1 hour away from Bristol by car)

If you’re into watersports such as paddleboarding, canoeing and kayaking, (or just want to give them a go), then a day trip from Bristol to the Cotswolds Water Park is a must!

You can do all of these sports and more here, and being just 50 minutes from Bristol, you won’t have to travel far.

The Cotswolds

– Varied mileage and distances; see individual timings below

The Cotswolds stretch out over 787 square miles and there’s lots to see here. Up first on anyone’s wish list should be some of the prettiest villages in the Cotswolds .

Here are a few ideas of which to visit first and their approximate distances from Bristol:

• Lacock (40 minutes from Bristol) : Lacock Abbey is home to a few Harry Potter movie locations , while the village is your typical Cotswold affair.
• Castle Combe (30 minutes from Bristol) : Also home to period dramas and filming locations, Castle Combe is another quintessential Cotswolds village, complete with walking trails, picture-perfect cottages and traditional English pubs.
• Bourton-on-the-Water (1 hour from Bristol) : Often nicknamed “Venice of the Cotswolds”, Bourton-on-the-Water is built around a winding river and offers plenty of opportunities for eating cream teas and shopping in little boutiques.
• Chipping Campden (1 hour 15 minutes from Bristol) : Chipping Campden is a small market town but has a delightful selection of restaurants and shops. The popular walking trail: The Cotswold Way also starts here.
• Stow-on-the-World (1 hour 10 minutes from Bristol) : Stow-on-the-Wold is a very picturesque village to explore and if you’re visiting during the summer months, you’ll find quite a few festivals and events happening here.

The Brecon Beacons

The Brecon Beacons are an iconic image when thinking about the UK and with the centre of the Brecon Beacons being just over 2 hours away from Bristol, you can see a lot during a day trip.

Our recommendation would be to embark on one of the many walking trails — three of our favourites are:

• The Four Waterfalls Walk near Ystradfellte (2 hours from Bristol by car) : Interesting woodland walk that lets you follow the trail of four waterfalls (one of which you can walk behind for free!)
• Pontsticill Reservoir (90 minutes from Bristol by car) : Relaxing walk around the edges of a stunning blue reservoir, complete with picture-perfect picnic spots!
• Pen y Fan Hike (90 minutes from Bristol by car) : Challenging hike to the top of the highest peak in South Wales to see some of the best views in the Brecon Beacons!

– Approx 36 miles (1 hour and 20 minutes away from Bristol by car)

Stourhead in Dorset offers you the chance to visit the house and learn about the history behind who lived here, but what most people will come to see is the world-famous landscape garden.

Surrounding a large glistening lake is a woodland walk with the chance to explore classical temples and a magical grotto with the most unique view across the lake. And The Temple of Apollo was even used as a Pride & Prejudice filming location !

It truly is stunning (especially in the autumn months when the trees all display reds, oranges and golds).

Wookey Hole

– Approx 19 miles (55 minutes away from Bristol by car)

Similarly to Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole is also your chance to see spectacular underground caves.

Gloucester Cathedral

– Approx 36 miles (55 minutes away from Bristol by car)

Gloucester isn’t usually going to be at the top of a list of day trips from Bristol, but it should be for Harry Potter fans !

Several scenes from the movies were filmed in the cathedral, such as the troll smashing up the toilets in the first film, or where the words ‘The chamber of secrets has been opened’ in the second movie were displayed. Have we convinced you enough to visit yet?

Malvern Hills

– Approx 64 miles (90 minutes away from Bristol by car)

The Malvern Hills is one of the best walking trails in the UK as the views are superb and the trails are often very quiet.

It takes about 90 minutes to drive there from Bristol, which means you can easily spend a few hours walking in the countryside and stopping for a picnic as a day out.

Just watch out for sheep that often roam the roads during the spring and summer months!

– Approx 46 miles (1 hour away from Bristol by car)

If you don’t quite have time to make it all the way to Stonehenge from Bristol then a very close second best would be the stone circle at Avebury , which is about 50 minutes from Bristol by car.

There’s lots to see at Avebury — from the traditional manor, to an archaeological museum, quaint English village and the aforementioned stone circle, which is over 4,000 years old!

Anyone can see the circle for free, but if you want to explore the manor house as well, then there is a fee to pay ( unless you’re a National Trust member ).

You can also see lots more historic sites dotted around Avebury as part of the Avebury World Heritage Site . To find out more, check out our Avebury walking guide .

Bristol to Stonehenge is one of those bucket list day trips to take as Stonehenge in Wiltshire is such an iconic image in England.

It’s about 90 minutes in the car from Bristol (without heavy traffic), or you can easily embark on one of many day tours that run from Bristol to Stonehenge.

However, entrance to the henge is quite pricey and something that very few know is that you can easily walk through some of the countryside surrounding Stonehenge and see it for free!

Longleat Safari Park

– Approx 32 miles (1 hour and 15 minutes away from Bristol by car)

Who doesn’t love heading out on a safari? And when you can do it as a day trip from Bristol, why wouldn’t you?

It takes just over an hour to drive to Longleat from Bristol and offers so much for the whole family to do.

You can drive your own car through the safari park (although you should avoid the monkey enclosure if you don’t want A LOT of damage done to your car), or you can hop on a bus that drives through the full safari.

There is also Longleat House to admire from the inside, as well as mazes, boat cruises, and various fun attractions on its grounds — all as part of one ticket price.

If you’re looking for a winter day out as well, then look out for special events that happen at Longleat such as ‘The Festival of Light’ .

– Approx 85 miles (1 hour and 40 minutes away from Bristol by car)

Oxford is such a charming city to visit. It’s just as beautiful and historic as places like Bath and Cheltenham , and is simply one of those bucket list destinations that you just can’t ignore.

Travelling from Bristol to Oxford takes about 90 minutes by car, or you can easily hop on a couple of trains, which takes about 2 and a half hours total.

When in Oxford, make sure you carve out some time to see the University buildings, Oxford Castle and Prison, have a delicious cream tea, as well as wander through the meadows on the outskirts of town. These are all must-dos when in Oxford.

BONUS: Check out Blenheim Palace near Oxford – it’s incredible at Christmas !

Newark Park

– Approx 23 miles (50 minutes away from Bristol by car)

Newark Park is a beautiful  National Trust property in sleepy Gloucestershire.

There’s an old Tudor manor house here, which you can explore inside for a fee. Or you can explore the stunning countryside for free.

There are three waymarked walking trails you can follow, each of different lengths and for different levels of fitness. They even take you through sheep fields, through forests, past garlic flowers as well as bluebells.

And if you follow the trails up near the house, you’ll have some of the best views of the Cotswolds, especially if you come during the spring or summer months.

Lydford Gorge

– Approx 113 miles (2 hours away from Bristol by car)

If you’re a regular reader of our blog, you’ll know we’ve visited a myriad of National Trust places . But Lydford Gorge is by far our most favourite of them all.

Following the twisting and turning of the River Lyd, you’ll embark on a woodland walk that provides the opportunity to see a 30-metre high waterfall called ‘Whitelady’ and bubbling water potholes called ‘Devil’s Cauldron’.

And despite being in Devon, it actually only takes about 2 hours to drive to Lydford Gorge from Bristol!

– Approx 52 miles (1 hour and 50 minutes away from Bristol by car)

If you love history, then you’ll love Salisbury . You can see one of the original Magna Cartas in the Salisbury Cathedral, you can wander through the city itself and spot buildings that are hundreds of years old.

You can even eat lunch in a pub that dates back as far as 700 years ago — The Haunch of Venison is not only a historic place to see, but it serves absolutely delicious food!

Similarly to a lot of suggestions on this day trips list, Salisbury is about 90 minutes from Bristol by car.

Most famed for its stunning Regency architecture , action-packed festivals and horse racing, there are so many fun things to do in Cheltenham .

It was once the place to be in the 18th century after its spa waters were discovered and commercialised; wealthy Londoners in particular saw it as the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle (and smog!) of the capital.

Nowadays, the stunning stucco facades and ripe history are blended with the modern including a newly established street art scene. And at just an hour’s drive from Bristol, you don’t have to go far for a fantastic day out!

Fleet Air Arm Museum

Found about 1.5 hours from Bristol is the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton. Here, you’ll get the chance to step back in time and wander among historic planes and aircraft memorabilia…

And even step on board the FIRST British-made Concorde. How awesome is that?

We recently went with my Dad who is ex-army and he was totally in his element… and to be fair, so were we!
