DAY ONE – Arrival

We depart from your home and travel to Somerset arriving late afternoon; you will have time to relax before dinner this evening.

 

DAY TWO – Longleat House & Safari Park

This morning we head for Longleat House and Safari Park. First on the itinerary this morning is the coach driving us through the Safari Park to discover some of the stars of TV’s ‘Animal Park’ in the world-famous Safari Park.  Time to meet from furry, scaly and fethery friends to snoozing Southern koalas to snapping Cuban crocodiles, see how many animals you can spot on the Safari!!  We then have time to wander around the House, Britain’s most astonishing ~Stately Homes.  It was in 1949, Longleat House became one of the first privately owned stately homes to open to the public commercially. Today it is the home of the 8th Marquess and Marchioness of Bath.  This is a house rich in history with one of the finest private collections in Britain, a real treat for you. A fascinating day.

 

DAY THREE – Wells

Today the day is yours to enjoy Wells. You might like to visit the Cathedral for the remembrance service today.  Wells Cathedral was built between 1175 and 1490 Wells Cathedral has been described as “the most poetic of the English Cathedrals”. Or perhaps The Bishop’s Palace and Gardens, home to the Bishops of Bath and Wells for over 800 years and this stunning medieval palace, which is now open to the public, with free guided walks, and the Bishop’s Table café for you to enjoy refreshments. Don’t forget to walk down Vicar’s Close, which adjoins the Cathedral, it is believed to be the only complete medieval street left in England.
