Weston-super-Mare & Historic Bath - Turkey & Tinsel
Included Excursions
Bath
We head to the beautiful city of Bath. The city has remained faithful to its Regency roots, with an abundance of elegant terraces, circuses and squares in a picturesque valley setting. The magnificent Royal Crescent is a must-see, and the central square is home to Bath Abbey and the ancient Roman Baths. You can also expect an excellent selection of shops; especially along the Pulteney Bridge, one of only four bridges in the world to feature shops across its full span on both sides.
Bristol
After breakfast we make our way to the West Country's cultural hub, Bristol, full of character and history. There is plenty to do; head to the famous harbourside and step aboard Brunel's SS Great Britain to experience life on a Victorian steamship, discover the fascinating collections at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery, take a look at Bristol Cathedral or enjoy the many restaurants and shops.
Optional Excursion
Wells & Cheddar including a scenic drive through Cheddar Gorge (£14pp)
Our optional excursion begins with the historic cathedral city of Wells, situated at the foot of the Mendip Hills. England's smallest city is a delight to explore, renowned for its well-preserved historic centre, narrow streets and medieval architecture.
We then take a scenic drive through the beautiful Somerset countryside to Cheddar Gorge. Cutting across the Mendip Hills, the famous limestone gorge is classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation. The road runs through the ravine and offers outstanding views of the country's highest inland cliffs, soaring dramatically to 500ft. We also spend time in Cheddar village, known as the origin of Cheddar cheese, which has been produced here since the 12th century. Enjoy the many tea rooms, gift shops and, of course, the Cheddar Cheese factory!
