Hi all,
I'll have a few days before/after in London while on a trip to Yorkshire and the Lake District with friends in June. I've traveled to England several times and had relatives who lived there at one point, so I've been to a few of the "typical" long day trip or overnight destinations (Bath, Oxford, Cambridge, Salisbury, Winchester, Cotswolds, Windsor).
I'm looking for a town I have not yet seen that's possible for a long day trip or potentially an overnight by rail. Not sure yet whether it will be weekday or weekend. I have not been to Alton/Chawton, thought about Frome because I'm a Sanditon and Poldark fan (filming location for both), and just read about Bradford-on-Avon. Also thought about Chepstow, but that may be more of an overnight destination than day trip.
For those who know Hampshire, Somerset, and Wiltshire, any places you'd recommend? Interested in history, walking around town, spot to eat, and a little shopping. Thank you!
