You can discover Bath's most famous resident, Jane Austen at The Jane Austen Centre, or enjoy a meal at the oldest house in Bath, Sally Lunns Refreshment House and Museum.

Alternatively, why not visit the only museum of Americana outside the United States and trace the American way of life from colonial times to the mid nineteenth century at The American Museum at Claverton Manor.

Just a short distance from Bath you will find Longleat House - widely regarded as one of the finest examples of high Elizabethan architecture in Britain, set within 900 acres of 'Capability' Brown landscaped grounds, lakes and formal gardens. Longleat also offers a wide variety of other attractions including the famous Safari Park, the Longleat Hedge Maze and Longleat Railway.

Stourhead is an outstanding example of English landscape style. The garden was designed by Henry Hoare II and laid out between 1741 and 1780. Classical temples are set around the central lake at the end of a series of vistas. The gardens also include magnificent woodland with exotic trees. The house, begun in 1721, contains furniture by the younger Chippendale and fine paintings.
