Bridgwater is a historic market town in the southern English county of Somerset. With a rich history and a festive spirit, many people come from all over Britain to visit this vibrant town.
Every November, this spirit flourishes when the town hosts the Bridgwater Carnival, Europe's largest illuminated procession of up to 100 brilliantly festooned carts and vehicles that parade through the town.
If you're not around for the carnival, then visit the Blake Museum to discover the town's surprising past as a port town and an important center of commerce. For those looking to enjoy some fresh air, take a walk up Burrow Mump to discover the ruins of a medieval church as well as a Second World War memorial. With a picturesque view from the summit, few other places so grandly display the quintessential English countryside.
Bridgwater's location in England makes it very reachable from around the U.K. Rail and bus services frequently run to Bridgwater Station from Bristol, York, and London. Bristol Airport is also only 30 miles from the town, with shuttle buses and trains connecting it to the town.

Link to image attributionLying on the River Usk northeast of Cardiff, Newport is a city in the far southeast of Wales. Once famous for its coal exports, Newport and its historic docks now welcome visitors to explore the sights and activities in this vibrant city.
To get a taste of Welsh culture and tradition, visit the Newport Indoor Market. Reconstructed in 1887, this traditional market hall is a great place to taste local foods, like bara brith and Welsh cakes, or pick up some handmade crafts.
South Wales is known for its castles, and Newport lives up to this reputation. Built in the 14th century, Newport Castle sits on an embankment overlooking the River Usk. Although you can't enter the castle, plenty of footpaths provide trails around the building for 360-degree viewing.
Although Newport has attracted many of the big-name brands and usual high street shops, what makes the city special is that it has managed to maintain a large proportion of its independent stores, restaurants, and cafes. You can find some of the best shopping and dining on Clytha Park Road, the perfect place to begin a pleasant walk.
Newport is accessible via rail, thanks to many rail services between London Paddington and South Wales. National Express buses also provide service from Newport to London, Bristol, Cardiff, and their airports, among other destinations.
