Day trip ideas from Bristol, UK

I am house sitting for 2 1/2 weeks in Bristol, UK and would like to take a few day trips, at least 1 or 2 days in London. Can anyone suggest a good personal guide service that features food? What areas do I want to stroll? I spent 5 days in and around London in Nov. of 2001. Where else should I visit, I will have a car, but will also take trains. Thank you

Nope -- and see my post on your other thread.

The H-o-H-o's in London are 1) expensive, 2) VERY time consuming, and 3) generally are stuck in traffic for much of their loops.

For a day out quite close to Bristol consider a drive across the Severn Bridge to Chepstow & its castle, then take the road from there that follows the River Wye to the beautiful ruin of Tintern Abbey.

Bath - a special city for its harmonious looks is also an easy day trip.
