The Severn Bridge (Welsh: Pont Hafren), sometimes also called the Severn–Wye Bridge, is a motorway suspension bridge spanning the River Severn and River Wye between Aust, South Gloucestershire (just north of Bristol) in England, and Chepstow, Monmouthshire in South East Wales, via Beachley, Gloucestershire, a peninsula between the two rivers. It is the original Severn road crossing between England and Wales and took three and half years[3] to construct at a cost of £8 million.[4] It replaced the Aust ferry.

The bridge was opened on 8 September 1966, by Queen Elizabeth II, who hailed it as the dawn of a new economic era for South Wales. The bridge was granted Grade I listed status on 26 November 1999.[5]

From 1966 to 1996, the bridge carried the M4 motorway. Upon the completion of the Second Severn Crossing, the motorway from Olveston (England) to Magor (Wales) was renamed the M48.

Cottage, 2 Bedrooms (Little Paradise) | Exterior

"We had a lovely stay at Little Paradise, Greyfield Farm Cottages! The cottage was immaculate, cosy and had lots of amenities to make our stay feel just like being at home. We were able to bring our dog due to the cottages being dog friendly which meant our little pup also had a lovely weekend away with us. Local pubs were walking distances within half an hour away, and Bath was only 20 minutes in the car making our trip seamless for heading out and then coming back to a lovely setting in the...

"My husband and I had such a lovely stay at Jane's house. It is a lovely cosy house with everything we needed for our stay and very central for visiting the main spots of the Forest of Dean. Jane is a super friend and helpful host and great with communicating. We would definitely stay again."

"We loved everything about the place. Thanks for the welcome snacks and drinks."

"Overall this was a good stay, rooms were nice and clean and there was plenty of space for 10 adults to stay. However, both ovens failed to heat properly which made cooking a bit of a pain. Check in process was not great, only being able to arrive between 5-6, the owner did not respond to any prior messages. Despite this, the local area was stunning, and the house was fit for purpose and good value considering the price of other locations in the area for a group this size."

"Delightful cottage, ideally located close to Bristol with great views of the river Avon. Quirky, but well designed accommodation more than met our expectations. Lovely usable garden. Would recommend without hesitation."

"Beautiful cosy cottage with many period features and stunning Wye Valley view.The drive up is scary - a hairpin bend that can only be done in first gear and reversing up the hill to get into the parking spot. Much wheel spin happened while we got used to it! 4X4 recommended.NB - there is a TV but no satellite box so get used to watching in real time again or light the fire and watch the flames.Bring your own extra loo roll, sharp knife and tin opener and be prepared for fridge tetris.So quiet...

5/5 Excellent

Beautiful Spa Hotel, Centrally Located in Bath

"The Gainsborough has a beautiful spa area and is very centrally and conveniently located in downtown Bath. The hotel stocks all rooms with soft drinks and water in the mini fridge (a nice touch), and the breakfast offerings are excellent, including both a continental buffet with a cooked to order option. The bar area of the hotel is small and was not well stocked during our visit. Also, some of the staff seemed new and unfamiliar (although polite) with the property, but the concierge as well as the front desk manager, Howard, were wonderful, and made what was a good stay into a great stay. The concierge's restaurant and tour recommendations were wonderful, and the front desk manager assisted our party of four with an issue we encountered with a rude and arrogant guest. The professionalism he demonstrated in handling the situation was commendable. We will be back. "
