THE WAY FORWARD<br />
A look at some of the highlights and<br />
what’s new on the <strong>Great</strong> <strong>West</strong> Way<br />
LOCKDOWN MIGHT HAVE PUT A STOP TO MANY<br />
THINGS, BUT IT HASN’T STOPPED HOTELIERS<br />
PREPARING TO ENSURE A VERY WARM WELCOME<br />
ONCE IT IS SAFE FOR VISITORS TO RETURN.<br />
For the ultimate city break you would be hard pushed to<br />
find a better place to stay than the new Townhouse at the<br />
Gainsborough Bath Spa Hotel. The TV series Bridgerton had us<br />
swooning over the ravishing city of Bath, used as a location,<br />
and now there’s this. Offering the best of both worlds – ultra<br />
luxurious self-catering for up to five people, plus the hotel next<br />
door for dining out or using the spa. The real wow factor facility<br />
here, however, is private access to the Cross Bath. This sacred<br />
open-air bath taps in to the city’s thermal waters and beats a<br />
hot tub any day! Prices start from £183 per night.<br />

Look out for the new official UK “We’re<br />
Good To Go” mark to signal that a business<br />
has implemented Government and industry<br />
COVID-19 guidelines and has a process in<br />
place to maintain cleanliness and aid social<br />
distancing. Many tourist attractions, shops,<br />
places to stay, activities and places to eat and<br />
drink on the <strong>Great</strong> <strong>West</strong> Way have now been<br />
awarded the mark, with many more in the<br />
process of applying.<br />
