Kelston Roundhill affords spellbinding views over Bath, Bristol and Somerset. In clear conditions, you can see both Severn bridges, across to Wales and the Black Mountains, the Wiltshire Downs in the east and the Mendip Hills in the south. The countryside in this neck of the woods is magnificent; a picturesque and quintessentially-English patchwork. A superb section of the Cotswold Way runs over the hill, too.

This is the third-largest complex of pre-historic standing stones in England. The 26 remaining standing stones are all that remains of the probably ceremonial stone circle constructed in the Neolithic period around 2500 BCE. Today the area is looked after by English Heritage and free to enter.

Definitely worth seeing! If you are interested in Roman history, this is the place for you!

Don’t park in Rose & Crown Car Park, understandably they get annoyed.

The baths themselves are well worth a visit! If you want to know more about this amazing historic place, https://www.romanbaths.co.uk/visit is the official website with a lot of useful information.

Excellent views

Impressive 4500 year-old stone circle with some English Heritage info signage at the entrance. Take a minute to touch the stones and imagine the people who put them there. There’s an honesty box at the gate which suggests a £1 donation.

The only hot springs in England discovered by the Romans. Very good audio guide with top restorations, but the highlight is the bathroom itself, very impressive to walk around on such old stones. It's easy to imagine how people used to enjoy the thermal water back then.

Fun little hill to run up. Amazing panoramic views

Erected in 1859, the Three Shires Stones mark the point where Somerset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire meet. Although the marking is pretty impressive, it's nestled at the side of the main road, part of the Fosse Way, so it's easy to miss. It's said that the stones were once part of an ancient burial chamber.

Stanton Drew stone circle is 100% worth a visit. An ancient, neolithic complex of stone circles. There is so much history in this landscape; the nearby Pensford village was first officially recorded in 1151.

couple of ways up to the top for some fabulous views

Definitely worth your time.

Bath, or Aquae Sulis - the northernmost thermal bath of the Romans. With the weather you can understand why the Romans appreciated the warm thermal spring.

The Wick Golden Valley Local Nature Reserve (LNR) is an important and unique place. There are few reserves in South Gloucestershire with such a diverse habitat so readily accessible to the local community. The range of habitats includes the river corridor of the River Boyd, mature woodland, scrub, steep valley slopes and unimproved limestone grassland. (https://www.goldenvalley.org.uk/wildlife.htm)
