With summer just around the corner, it’s time to plan some time away whether it’s for a couple of days or a few weeks! If you’re looking for a fantastic getaway to recharge your batteries, enjoy some entertainment and do some sightseeing, it’s well worth checking out Bath.

The West Country is also home to some amazing cider, so be sure to enjoy some of the apple-based beverage while you’re there!

Wadworth’s Victorian tower brewery is a highlight too for those that enjoy their tipple.

Take a hot balloon ride

There’s no better way of seeing a city than getting a bird’s-eye view! If you happen to get a sunny day with clear skies, get a unique perspective with a hot air balloon ride. The blimps take off at dusk or dawn when the city is at it’s most beautiful.

It’s definitely an experience (and view) that you won’t forget! So for those who have a head for heights, it’s worth booking in.

Online games have become more popular than ever and there’s options available to suit almost everyone's taste! Stick with an old favourite or if you’re feeling adventurous, try something new!
