Although officially scrapped as an English County in 1996 and divided between Somerset, Bath, Bristol and Gloucestershire, Avon still very much exists as the region covering Bristol, Bath and the surrounding areas.
You’ll find Bath, a world heritage site. The American Museum in Britain in Claverton. The first Concorde prototype took flight from Filton Aerodrome in 1969 and landed there for the last time in 2003, where it is kept as the centrepiece for an air museum. Avon is still seen as the centre of the UK aerospace industry, with BAE Systems, Airbus and Rolls Royce all based here.
You will also find heritage here, with buildings like Thornbury Castle, confiscated by Henry VIII after its owner, the Duke of Buckingham, was tried for treason in 1521. The castle is now a hotel.
