There’s plenty to see and do amongst the 15 acres of land that surround Thornbury Castle, be that perhaps enjoying afternoon tea on the terrace or exploring the beautiful castle gardens. The castle is just a short driving distance from some of the UK’s most beloved tourist destinations; it is located just under an hour from the historic city of Bath, where you can relax and unwind in The Thermae Bath Spa - here you get to experience the rejuvenating effects of the local hot springs in a thoroughly contemporary setting! Just a 40-minute drive away is Cheltenham, a beloved spa town that offers a harmonious blend of vibrant festivities, gentle relaxation and revered culinary destinations throughout its quaintly realised streets and regal white-faced architecture.
