Castle Combe

The local racetrack is always a popular place to go from March to October. In addition to the full weekends of racing, the circuit also has its own race school, skidpan and Kart track. Their website is at www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk 
The village of Castle Combe is worth visiting for reasons other than the racetrack though, with some of the prettiest scenery around, as well as an excellent quality golf course. 

Badminton

Famous for its horse trials, the pretty town of Badminton is only a short drive away from the Quarrymans

Bath City

There is so much to do in Bath that whole websites are dedicated to that subject. However, from a personal point of view, favorites of this author are the open top bus tour and the world famous roman baths.

Lacock

This national trust village is about 6 miles from the Quarrymans, and provides a perfect day out. Located in the picturesque village is the Fox Talbot museum of photography and the famous abbey, which has recently been the setting for the Harry Potter movies.
