Itinerary
Bath & Concorde
Bath Christmas Markets & Bristol Aerospace with Cream tea under Concorde - This morning we journey to Bath. Built for pleasure and relaxation, Bath has been a wellness destination since Roman times. The compact, visitor-friendly centre is overflowing with places to eat and drink and some of the finest independent shops in Britain. There is also time to enjoy the Christmas Markets. Next, we travel to Aerospace Bristol to discover Bristol's aeronautical and space heritage, alongside stories of the human endeavour behind the technology. On arrival we enjoy a Cream Tea under the wings of Concorde, an iconic symbol of design and innovation. Admire the aircraft whilst enjoying homemade fruit scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream, accompanied by English breakfast tea - a unique experience and great photo opportunity!
Brunel's Bristol
Bristol Christmas Markets & SS Great Britain - This morning we take a route through the Avon Gorge to see Isambard Kingdom Brunel's magnificent Clifton Suspension Bridge and then on to another of his masterpieces, the SS Great Britain. Launched in Bristol in 1843, this was the world's first ocean-going, propeller-driven, iron ship. The historic vessel is now conserved with the hull protected by a 'glass sea'. Visitors can experience what life was like for the ship's Victorian passengers and crew. We then travel into the city centre where there's free time to explore the city centre, including the Christmas Markets, and Bristol's famous Harbourside before returning to our hotel for dinner.
