FINDING YOUR JOURNEY<br />
THE GREAT WEST WAY meanders from London to Bristol<br />
via historic towns and villages, country estates, canals,<br />
castles and vibrant cities.<br />
As highlighted within our magazine articles so far,<br />
travelling the 125-mile journey can be enjoyed in a number<br />
of ways, on the water, railway lines, countryside footpaths,<br />
and by road. Taking to explore the route by car is a great<br />
way in finding the undiscovered, and exploring the <strong>Great</strong><br />
<strong>West</strong> Way in your own time, and under your own steam.<br />
To help inspire your journey, and set you on your way,<br />
we’ve chosen three routes with a mix of entertaining<br />
roads snaking through the countryside either side of the<br />
<strong>Great</strong> <strong>West</strong> Way, all boasting history, culture and amazing<br />
sightseeing. It is easy by road to stray off the <strong>Great</strong> <strong>West</strong><br />
Way too, taking a detour north for example towards the<br />
Cotswolds, where there are yet more picture postcard<br />
villages and wonders of the world to discover.<br />

BRISTOL TO WELLS<br />
îA blend of tight, twisty roads and open<br />
countryside with a stop-off at Britain’s highest,<br />
inland limestone cliffs created during the Ice Age...<br />
Our first route is recommended as a day out, starting<br />
from your <strong>Great</strong> <strong>West</strong> Way accommodation, ideally<br />
based west of the route, and beginning your journey from<br />
Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, one of Brunel’s most<br />
spectacular legacies – then heading south, and taking you<br />
a short detour off the route, to the medieval splendour<br />
of Wells Cathedral in Somerset. Opened to the public on →<br />
