🦢 Visiting the area around Bradford-on-Avon

(updated 2021-11-11)

Here are a few places in the region not immediately in BoA. 'Bath' just means the area around Bath as well as the city itself. I haven't included restaurants in Bristol, though the group of friends that I go out to dinner with has collectively made a list of the best⁽ᵃ⁾ that's worth looking at. If you check out that list, look out for the R₃ value, the group's enthusiasm for collectively visiting a restaurant.

There's a separate list of recommendations for places to visit in Bradford-on-Avon itself⁽ᵃ⁾.

The distances shown after each place's name are measured from Bradford-on-Avon's town bridge⁽ᵃ⁾.
