Set in the pretty town of Corsham, just eight miles from Bath and three miles from Chippenham, is the honey-stoned, Georgian facade of the Methuen Arms Hotel. Family owned and personally managed, it is one of those rare hotels where guests can combine the best of both town and country living, being at the edge of the parklands of Corsham Court whose gardens were landscaped by Capability Brown. Apart from the Georgian architecture, the ancient stone walls, mullioned windows and oak beams of the "The Long Room" date back to the fourteenth century and this section was originally a nunnery. The other wings and buildings around the courtyard at the rear of the building date from the 1600's but parts may be earlier. The nunnery became a public house (tourist will call it a PUB) in 1608 and was known as the Red Lion by 1637. The Duke of Edinburgh often played skittles at the Methuen Arms when he was Training Officer at the nearby HMS Royal Arthur and in 1947, as Lieutenant Phillip Mountbatten, he unveiled Corsham's war memorial in the Garden of Remembrance. The hotel has twenty five delightful bedrooms each individually decorated with fine furnishings and fabrics. The en-suite bedrooms have colour television, direct dial phones and tea and coffee making facilities. The Winter's Court Restaurant, with its candlelit, stone-walled charm has a range of individually priced menus as well as an a la carte menu to satisfy even the most discerning palate, with an extensive range of both simple and classical dishes using mainly locally produce meat and fresh vegetables.

The three hundred foot chasm of the Avon Gorge has long drawn visitors to Clifton, Bristol’s village. It’s beauty may be an attraction to the visitor but to the sailor it can present untold hazards as it twists and turns towards the ancient port of Bristol. High above the Gorge stands the Hotel and from the terrace the view is stunning as the River Avon flows between the steep cliffs of limestone. But perhaps the most striking feature is Brunel’s bridge, suspended 245 feet above the water. A work of technical genius which has earned a proud place in engineering history.
