Living in a city you can sometimes crave a quieter experience on your weekend, but luckily Bristol is surrounded by beautiful villages and pretty towns, most within an hour’s drive. We have Cirencester and Bourton-on-the-Water to the north and south there is Misdomer Norton and Frome.
But if you’re looking to visit somewhere a little lesser-known then the village of Nunney is a must - which sits just two miles from Frome. It is a beautiful, quintessential English village which writers have described as the prettiest in all of England, reports Somerset Live.
BBC Radio 4 chose it as a typical English village where children can play in the fields and grow up in a strong, loving community. It has picture-postcard scenery and a stunning moated medieval castle right in the centre.
