Make sure you have a full tank of gas, because Bath is worth making a detour for. Situated 30 miles from Sherborne, it offers up some wonderful attractions, such as Royal Crescent and Theatre Royal Bath. Nothing says living it up like a road trip does, so keep on driving to Bristol. It’s 35 miles away and also has a few excellent sights, such as Bristol Hippodrome Theatre and Clifton Suspension Bridge.
