Cheltenham - Any place to visit nearby too?

[Tricey]

We're going to Cheltenham soon to pick something up. We'd like to make a long weekend (Friday morning through Sunday) out of it and visit someplace nice nearby too. Does anyone have any suggestion for nice places near to there? We'll be driving from London. We were thinking possibly of Cardiff, but are up for anything enjoyable. We've not yet been to Bath either and are also thinking of Warwick Castle, etc.. Any suggestions? Cheers! : )

Warwick quite a long way - hour and a half ish?

second Cotswolds - lovely and not too busy this time of year.

All osrts of attractions if that is your thing - model village, wildlife park, loadsa tea rooms etc.

Cotswold Wildlife Park, Bourton on the Water (went last wkend and was so lovely), Stow on the Wold, Bath, Stratford Upon Avon, Forest Of Dean for walking/cycling... loads of places if you don't mind driving a bit (and loads of places to avoid)!

Thanks all. We'll look into these.

Gloucester Docks may be worth a visit. There's the museum of packaging and the waterways museum - depends what floats your boat (no pun intended).

Bourton on the Water, Stow on the Wold and Bibury are lovely. Cirencester is also nice for a wander round the shops.

Cotswolds Farm Park is great for children. Lots of activities, walks, play equipment, animals, jumping pillow, tractor rides. Indoor stuff as well - battery operated tractors, roller racers and things.

Thanks everyone.
