Sunday to Thursday

Bath

Built for pleasure and relaxation, beautiful Bath has been a wellbeing destination since Roman times. The waters are still a big draw, both at the ancient Roman Baths and the thoroughly modern Thermae Bath Spa, which houses the only natural thermal hot springs in Britain you can bathe in. Bath's stunning honey-coloured Georgian architecture is straight from a Jane Austen novel - highlights include the iconic Royal Crescent and the majestic Circus. Bath’s compact, visitor-friendly centre is overflowing with places to eat and drink, plus some of the finest independent shops in Britain.

Tyntesfield (NT)

An ornate Victorian Gothic Revival house with extensive garden and parkland, Tyntesfield was not intended to be an extravagant statement of wealth, power or politics. Its purpose was simple: to serve as a family home. Originally a smaller Georgian house, Tyntesfield was transformed into a Gothic Revival masterpiece. Its bespoke architecture reflects the devout Anglo-Catholic beliefs of the Gibbs Family. Here they invested their wealth derived from controlling the import of Peruvian ‘guano’ fertiliser.

Lanes of Somerset

A leisurely tour of the Somerset lanes via the Mendips to the attractive cathedral city of Wells and Glastonbury, renowned for its festival and Abbey, full of legends about King Arthur and the Holy Grail. Also, we visit Cheddar famous for its cheese and the spectacular gorge.
