Welcome to Bath, Bristol & the Southwest

This is a spectacular region of England, where primordial stone circles hum with energy as ancient Roman baths, serene cathedrals, genteel Georgian cityscapes, colossal bridges and top-drawer museums await exploration. And the great outdoors is never far away, with rugged hikes through sublime moorland or breezy escapades around the Isle of Wight.

Eating

The southwest has spearheaded England’s culinary renaissance and eateries everywhere fly the flag for local, seasonal, organic produce. The surrounding seas produce just-landed fish, moors and hills provide venison and game, fertile fields add the veg, while harbours and hills add the views.

Gastropubs
While the food in many pubs is good quality and good value, some places raised the bar to such a degree that a whole new genre of eatery – the gastropub – was born. The finest gastropubs are effectively restaurants (with smart decor, neat menus and uniformed table service; a few have won Michelin stars).

Afternoon Tea
An English institution (which locals tend to reserve for special occasions), afternoon tea should be a deeply satisfying affair. A basic minimum should be scones, jam, cream and tea (in a pot, naturally). The best place in Bath to experience it all is the 18th-century setting of the Pump Room Restaurant .

Vegetarians
For vegetarians, many restaurants and pubs have at least one token vegetarian dish, while better places offer much more imaginative choices. Vegans will find the going trickier, except of course at dedicated veggie/vegan restaurants.

Drinking & Nightlife

Bath boasts some cracking pubs and clubs; the streets to the north and west of the Roman Baths are good places to start explorations. In Bristol, the Floating Harbour and City Dock areas get lively at night, with plenty of bars along Cannon’s Rd and the north end of Welsh Back. Clifton also has a good choice of welcoming pubs and bars.

Bars & Pubs
In England, the difference between a bar and a pub is sometimes vague, but generally bars are smarter and louder than pubs, possibly with a younger crowd.
Drinks in English pubs are ordered and paid for at the bar. When it comes to gratuities, it’s not usual to tip pub and bar staff.

Beer & Cider
English beer typically ranges from dark brown to bright amber in colour, served at room temperature. Technically it’s ale but it’s often called ‘bitter’, to distinguish it from lager, which is generally yellow and served cold.
Beer that’s brewed and served traditionally is called ‘real ale’ to distinguish it from mass-produced brands, and there are many regional varieties. A new breed of microbreweries has sprung up over the last decade, producing their own varieties of traditional and innovative brews, usually referred to as ‘craft beers’.
Cider is available sweet or dry and, increasingly, as ‘craft cider’, often with various fruit or herbal flavours added. Try ‘scrumpy’, a very strong dry cider traditionally made from local apples.

Tea & Coffee
Although tea is often billed as the national drink, tea consumption fell by around 20% in the five years to 2015, and coffee is becoming ever more popular. The British coffee-shop market is worth almost £8 billion a year, but with the prices some coffee shops charge, maybe that’s not surprising.

Shopping

Shopping in Bath
Bath’s shops are some of the best in the west. The city’s main shopping centre is SouthGate , where you’ll find all the major chain stores.
High-quality, independent shops line the narrow lanes just north of Bath Abbey and Pulteney Bridge. Milsom St is good for upmarket fashion, while Walcot St has food shops, design stores, vintage-clothing retailers and artisans’ workshops.

Shopping in Bristol
High-street chains cluster around Cabot Circus ( % 0117-952 9361; www.cabotcircus.com ; Glass House; h 10am-8pm Mon-Sat, 11am-5pm Sun) and Broadmead. The city centre has St Nicholas Market, plus other independent shops dotted around Corn St and Colston St.
Stokes Croft and Gloucester Rd are good for non-chain stores, especially those selling vintage clothing, crafts and second-hand albums.
Clifton is more upmarket, with high-end designer, homeware and antiques shops.

Arts & Crafts
Bath Aqua Glass Demonstrations by skilled glassblowers and fiery furnaces make this an atmospheric place to shop.
