bath is really nice if you want to chill out, drink some interesting beer and cider, listen to some folky bands, and soak up the atmosphere. for clubbing, raving and general fast livin, bristols where its at, and its only 15-20 mins away by car or rail. basically daytime- bath, evening bristol, altho the other way round isnt bad either. bristol has some lush places to chill in the day, but theyre a little harder to find than baths, but at night its easy to see whats gwan bristol as there are loads of crowds, posters and flyers to point you the right way.
hope you have a gert lush meander thru the gateways to the west.
