DAY FOUR – Exeter

Today we visit Exeter. A small city that packs a big punch, Exeter is one of the most vibrant, attractive and historically interesting cities in England.

Pre-dating the arrival of the Romans in AD 50, Exeter’s history is rich and long. Why not visit the unique  Underground Passages, the magnificent  Cathedral, imposing Roman wall and beautiful  Quayside. Not only that Exeter is also home to the award-winning  Royal Albert Memorial Museum.

 

DAY FIVE – Kents Cavern and Babbacombe Model Village

This morning, we will visit Kents Cavern is one of the most important Stone Age sites in Europe and one of Britain's best show caves. Today you’ll go back to a time when the cave was home to ancient humans, sheltering from extreme weather, making fires, shaping tools and hunting Ice Age animals. As you walk through the extensive labyrinth of caverns, you'll be surrounded by 400-million-year-old rocks and spectacular stalagmites and stalactites.

 

We’ll then visit the Babbacombe Model Village. Feel like a giant as you step through the small entrance and the vast miniature world opens up before you. Explore 4 acres of award-winning gardens showcasing beautiful streams and waterfalls. The idyllic setting for hundreds of models, scenes and over 13,000 miniature residents!

The Model Village is set in a large, beautiful valley and portrays a generic version of Britain through the decades with some well-known landmarks and a few twists.

 

You can then spend some time in Babbacombe, perhaps walking along the promenade, or perhaps take a ride on the Cliff Railway down to the bottom of the cliffs.

 

DAY SIX - Torquay and Bygones Victorian Museum

This morning we see, smell and hear the bustle of 100 years of history, at the Bygones Victorian Museum, with the hustle and bustle of Victorian Life, 15 shops and 8 period rooms, all filled with authentic items. Railway fans will love our 27-ton steam train, as well as the captivating 28 foot model railway.

The Wartime Britain exhibition pays respect to both World Wars, where you can walk through our World War Trench and Shelters. Large displays of Militaria items from Waterloo to WWI, WWII and the Gulf War.
