What are the best day trips from Bristol?

Bath (15 minutes by train), Cheddar Gorge and Wells (40 minutes), Stonehenge (1 hour 15), the Cotswolds (1 hour) and Cardiff across the Severn (50 minutes). Bath is the easiest; Cheddar and Wells make the best full day by car or tour.

Can you visit Stonehenge and Bath in one day from Bristol?

Yes — full-day coach tours from Bristol combine them, usually with Cotswold villages or Lacock added. Expect around £86 and a nine-hour day.

Do you need a car for day trips from Bristol?

Not for Bath, which is a direct train, or for Cardiff. Cheddar Gorge, Wells, Stonehenge and the Cotswolds are far easier with a guided tour or a car — rural bus connections are slow.
