Ideas for a day out?
 
Ideas for a day out?
Posted by Trowres at 00:36, 29th September 2026
 
Do you have any suggestions for a day out, meeting the following criteria?
  • A day trip by rail from Western Wiltshire
  • Enough at the destination to occupy about five hours
  • Decent cafe (doesn't have to be Michelin...)
  • Destination doesn't look post-apocalyptic, which includes places that have become car-dominated

Those restrictions seem to exclude Weymouth. 

Nailsea? (That includes Tyntesfield, a rambling National Trust property, just to the north).
