DAY ONE – Cheddar Gorge Museum of Prehistory and Arrival
We depart from your home and travel to Bristol, journeying through the Cheddar Gorge, we stop at the centre and explore the Museum of Prehistory. You can also take refreshments in the café and look in the gift shop before we continue our journey to our hotel. On arrival we have a welcome tea/coffee with time then to relax before dinner this evening.
DAY TWO – Brunel’s SS Great Britian and Bristol Museum & Art Gallery
This morning, we make a visit to Brunel’s SS Great Britain, where you can experience the sights, sounds and smells of life on board!
Sitting proudly on the glass ‘sea’, Brunel’s SS Great Britain dominates Bristol’s historic waterfront. Dressed in flags and ready for departure, just as the ship looked when it was launched in 1843. The ship has been painstakingly restored to recreate Victorian life at sea on the world’s first great luxury liner. You’ll climb aboard and explore scenes so life-like you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped back in time…
Then head below the ‘glass sea’ for incredible views of the SS Great Britain in her original dry dock which dates to the 1830s.
The huge, covered space and modern technology protect the fragile iron hull, keeping the air as arid as the Arizona Desert. You can walk all the way around the ship for a truly unique experience, getting up close to the hull and the screw propeller which made the SS Great Britain one of the most innovative ships in the world.
And to discover more, you’ll journey into the world of Isambard Kingdom Brunel and find out about the genius behind some of the world’s most important engineering achievements, as you explore a recreation of his Dining Room, explore the main exhibition and go inside Brunel’s mind.
Making our way then to the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery where you can explore the collections of art, nature and history on display in this beautiful building. Find out about the last billion years of Earth’s history, explore the region’s natural wonders and discover more about peoples’ lives, past and present.
If time allows, we spend a little more time in Bristol, before we head back to our hotel late afternoon, with time to relax before dinner this evening.
DAY THREE – Thatchers Cider Tour and Wells
This morning we’ll visit Thatchers Cider, where you will be shown how cider is made from start to finish, through over 115 years of cider making expertise. The tour introduces you to the working mill and packaging hall. At the end of the tour, you’ll get the chance to sample some of our Somerset Ciders, from the well-known brands to limited edition ranges.
We’ll then make our journey to Wells, with its historic centre, magnificent Cathedral, unique Vicars' Close, moated Bishop's Palace and wonderful independent shops. You have time here to explore before we make our journey back to the hotel, where we enjoy dinner this evening.
