When you head out into the West Country for a break, there are a lot of places that you can visit. Much of where you go will depend on what you like to do and who you're travelling with, too. Not everyone enjoys the same kinds of things, and some people might want to be right in the middle of things while others would prefer to go somewhere that is more relaxing and quiet. Some may want a bit of both, so they'll choose a place that's close to larger areas but still remote enough to enjoy some nature, as well.
Not everyone realizes how beautiful that area is, and if you haven't been there in a while - or if you've never been there at all - it's time that you went there and had a look. It's not that Bath is perfect, but a Bath weekend break can really give you time to relax and enjoy nature as well as have plenty of things to do when you feel like venturing out. There are many festivals and concerts in Bath, so if you like those kinds of things it's a great place to go for a couple of days. Weekends are more popular with tourists than weekdays, though, so if you're going to be travelling to Bath for the weekend you'll want to make sure that you book far enough ahead to get the kind of accommodations that you're looking for. That will help to ensure that you'll have a great time and won't be stuck looking for lodging after you've arrived. If you go in the off season you can generally get better rates, as well, so that's worth looking into. Most people can certainly use a weekend break to Bath, even when it's not the most popular travelling season.
