West Country Shopper

What better place to start your Christmas shopping! Two fabulous cities with so much to offer the visitor. It's not just about shopping, our base in central Bristol gives so much opportunity to explore the prosperous maritime history, the former city-centre port, now a cultural hub, the Harbourside, where the M Shed museum explores local social and industrial heritage. 19th-century warehouses now contain restaurants, shops and cultural institutions such as contemporary art gallery The Arnolfini.

Bath's stunning, honey-coloured Georgian architecture is straight from a Jane Austen novel; highlights include the iconic Royal Crescent and the majestic Circus. Experience a show-stopping retail scene, set against a backdrop of Georgian grandeur, has made the city one of the most stylish destinations for 300 years, with a compact city centre brimming with independent stores and high street brands.
