I was considering going to my dads in north Wales, but decided against it. The chance of infecting him or an area which has no cases wasn't worth it.
"Essential travel does not include visits to second homes, camp sites, caravan parks or similar, whether for isolation purposes or holidays. People should remain in their primary residence. Not taking these steps puts additional pressure on communities and services that are already at risk."

At the very least stay home in Bath in proper isolation for a week. I'm thinking of going to see my dad at some point but will isolate for two weeks beforehand. He's very vulnerable but the area is not virus free. One week in case I've got it, another week in case I actually do have it but low/no symptoms. It's just not worth it otherwise. I might avoid seeing him at all if he's ok with skyping etc.

If you can isolate effectively I’d do it.
Just force a mindset on yourselves that you already have it and are bringing it with you on everything you own.
Then make sure your parents stay a safe distance from you and everything you own / touch for the recommended times.
If in isolation in the annex you have any symptoms then return to Bath and isolate there. Parents should then avoid the annex for the recommended times.

I have just been forced to close my business due to the virus. I live with my girlfriend in Bath, and she is working from home.
We’re trying to make the decision if we should now head to the west country to be with family. Luckily my mum has an annex we could isolate in on arrival to make sure we’re not bringing anything with us. My girlfriends parents are also in Cornwall so we would potentially be able to see them at some point too.
Trying to work out if it’s the right thing to do. And if we’ll be increasing risk of infection to them. All our parents are 65/70 ish and healthy.
