We are planning to spend a few days in Bath & Bristol over the Summer and wondered if anyone could recommend things, off the beaten track? We know about the ancient baths and the museums, but what about the coziest pub with the best food on offer, or live music, that kind of thing? Any ideas helpful!

I live between the two cities. A 10 minute train ride away.
Bristol's clean air zone is something to be aware if you have pre 2015 diesel car (£9).Parts of the city centre and Clifton have a residents parking zone.
Bath also has residents parking zones but the way they charge private diesel cars is through the parking. When you put your registration number in the pay and display machines it calculates the parking costs by verification from the DVLA.
If you're in Bristol in August then the balloon fiesta is worth seeing. If you're around in September then it's an Open Doors month where buildings not normally open to the public throw open their doors and allow people in . One year we went and saw a glass blowing factory and had a go.
