Avon is a new administrative area formed in 1974 and containing parts of Gloucestershire and Somerset. It covers 519 square miles. There are limestone hills in the east and south extending from the Cotswolds and the Mendips respectively, but the most dramatic limestone is at Clifton where the river Avon has cut a magnificent gorge. The area contains good motorway links as the M4 and M5 meet north of Bristol. The population is to a lagre extent concentrated to the city of Bristol. Bath is noted for its Roman spa and fine buildings, and Weston-super-Mare is a popular coastal resort. |
