Day trips from Bristol

If you're lucky enough to be in Bristol for a few days, it's worth exploring the beautiful countryside and noteworthy places nearby.

Bristol is lucky to be situated within easy reach of many areas of outstanding natural beauty, as well as the coast and numerous historic locations, so you can make your city break that extra bit more interesting!

See the stunning spire of Salisbury Cathedral and the Magna Carta in a day trip to Salisbury, explore the Roman city of Bath Spa or visit the prehistoric site of Stonehenge. 

Or if you want to see some of the filming locations for Downtown Abbey, Harry Potter and more, you can take a trip to National Trust Village of Lacock.

Tickets for many of these excursions can be purchased at the Tourist Information Centre, where you'll also be able to find out about walks and tours around the city.

We've put together a list of the best day trips North , South, East and West of Bristol.
