Whilst many will argue that Avon no longer exists, the ceremonial county is still a major part of our British heritage, and is often referred to when people are heading to the South West. Avon is formed by the City of Bristol, Bath, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire, and is named after the River Avon which runs through the county to the port of Bristol. Although the county was split in 1996, the legacy of Avon lives on with several public sector organisations and councils still using the name in day-to-day life, keeping alive the twenty years of culture and history. There are plenty of exciting things to do in Avon, whether it's a romantic getaway you're looking for or a fun family holiday - Avon has it all!
For November, the latest Experience Days for Avon Experience Days include, Bristol 90 Minute Turbo Arrow Flight, Bristol Private Life Drawing Class Workshop, and Bristol Bicycle Tour.

What is There to Do in Avon
Unique Gifts and Days Out in Avon
Within Avon lies the vibrant City of Bristol; home to just under half a million people it's the largest city in the South West of England, and won the coveted European Green Capital in 2015. There are many fascinating places to visit and things to do in Bristol, making it a great destination choice for day trips or weekend breaks. Old Market is an absolute must for tourists; with over 60 historic listed buildings, countless galleries, and the famous Trinity Centre that played host to the inception of 'Bristol Sound' and the notorious underground scene. Within Bristol you can also visit the set locations of many famous films and TV shows, including Skins, Sherlock Holmes and The Inbetweeners 2, and spend time in the various green spaces like Queen Square and Troopers Hill Nature Reserve. Of course a trip to Bristol wouldn't be complete without visiting the Clifton Suspension Bridge, a 1,352ft span over the Avon Gorge completed in 1864.
The World Heritage Site city of Bath should also be on everyone's list of places to visit in Avon, as it's rich in history, architecture and natural landscape. A popular activity in Bath is sightseeing, as there's so many interesting places and landmarks to discover. You could book a Bath And Bristol City Helicopter Sightseeing Tour, or take an informative bus tour through the city - there's even hot air ballooning to truly experience Bath in style! For those looking to kick back and relax, a trip to Thermae Bath Spa has to be on the cards. Boasting the only naturally warm bathing pools in Britain, the water has been said to have healing powers and dates back to around 8000BC, according to scientists and archaeologists. Walk in the footsteps of Jane Austen and discover the wonderful world of Bath!
Of course Avon has far more to offer than just the cities of Bristol and Bath, but those are the two destinations that draw the most tourists year upon year. Portishead fans can visit the town that bore their name, and classic film lovers can head to Temple Meads to see where The Titfield Thunderbolt is set. Avon is also a popular destination for foodies, hosting Bristol Food Connections Festival, Eat Drink Bristol Fashion and The Great Bath Feast to name a few, as well as the huge range of independent restaurants and shops to browse through. A trip to Avon is guaranteed to be a memorable one, as there's so much to do for kids and adults alike. Make Avon your destination of choice this year and have the ultimate UK 'staycation'!
