>Bonus point if it's Roman-related
You'll be needing to visit the aptly-named city of Bath, then.
There are also significant Roman remains in Cirencester, and it would be worth paying the bridge toll and venturing over to Wales to see Caerleon. Avebury is probably as impressive looking as Stonehenge, and you'll see the Kennet long barrows and Silbury hill on the same road. Cadbury Camp in North Somerset has some impressive earthworks, and Cadbury Castle futher south does too. If you're in Bristol, see if you can get a tour of Redcliffe Caves, see the camera obscura and Ghyston's cave up on the Downs. The harbourside Industrial Museum is pretty cool if they're having a steam day, you can take a ride along some rarely-used track that most people don't even realise is there. If you like steam power then visit Westonzoyland pumping station, or when in Caerleon see the Sudbrook pumping station, which has some truly massive Cornish beam engines. Oldbury Nuclear Power Station (or possibly Berkeley) is open for visits and is pretty interesting. For something really different, contact the Ministry of Defence or Subterranea Britannica to see if you can get access to the Burlington Bunker under Rudloe Manor, Corsham. There are "unofficial" ways in - you could go hunting for one of the legendary "Red Doors"...

Also,
>Blaise Castle Museum (Kingsweston Roman Villa is nearby)
>Dunster Castle and village
>Tarr Steps
>the Sweet Track on the Somerset Levels
>the SS Great Britain and The Matthew
>see if you can find King Alfred's "palace" in Pucklechurch - it's known there was one there somewhere, but it remains as yet unfound.

Those are just vaguely the Somerset area and nearby - Devon and Cornwall have even more. Plymouth in particular has loads of historical stuff.

There's the ruins of a Roman palace in Fishbourne near Chichester, with great mosaic flooring. It's not South West England anymore but it's not that far.
