Itinerary

Fri - This morning we depart the local area and make our way to Cheltenham, famous for its Regency architecture and is said to be "the most complete regency town in England, with many of the buildings being listed.  We later continue to our hotel. Enjoy welcome tea/coffee & cookie on arrival. Later we enjoy our evening meal.

Sat - Engine on, windows up, food out of sight, eyes on the rustling parkland… we’re entering the famous Longleat Safari Drive-through! As we journey through this fabulous land, where roaming animals are waiting to greet us, we keep our eyes peeled for lions, tigers, wolves, deer, zebras, white rhinos, cheetahs, giraffes, Anne the elephant and some very cheeky monkeys! Our day also includes the opportunity to marvel at the exterior of Longleat House and stroll around the beautiful
gardens and Capability Brown landscaped grounds.

Sun - Today we head to the fabulous Blenheim Palace, the seat of the Dukes of Marlborough, with time to explore at leisure. One of England’s largest houses, it was built in the early 1700s and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. The palace is a family home, a mausoleum and national monument, and is notable as being the birthplace and ancestral home of Sir Winston Churchill. Here, we can explore the gilded State Rooms, visit the Churchill Exhibition and wander the Formal Gardens. Later we commence the homeward journey.
