Maybe not close vicinity but London has several airports which can get you to many parts of Europe in a very little time often for dirt cheap prices. If you organize things correctly you could go somewhere interesting in the early morning and be back the same day.
Both are fascinating. I used to live near Bath many years ago - amazing architecture. The Cotswolds are pretty but you will need a car to explore them thoroughly. You wll find plenty on line about both. The Royal Photographic Society recently moved from Bath to Bristol where it has a new centre. Plenty to do/see/photograph in the west country but I would say that you need time for them.

Hi Peter
I well recall your London MF RF work, very good stuff too
Looking like water lilies in a Kew hot house unless I'm way off

Was there last year in May, expect grey skys. A trip to Hampstead Heath is worth it, including Kenwood House. The Highgate cemerty is apparently worth a look to if you like that sort of thing. The camera museum in London is a fun spot to grab a coffee. Kew Garden is nice as is a trip out to Greenwich (has a camera obscura).
Cheers Shane
I visited Honiley in Warwickshire and midlands areas around it. It's about 90 minutes from Heathrow airport. Motoring history was my reason but I enjoyed long walks with my medium format camera along quiet paths and fields too. An hour to the east was Bletchley park of WW-II and computing fame. The rural areas would be great for LF photography if you like that sort scenery. It's a lot more varied and interesting than US farmland in my opinion.
