Activity itinerary

Bristol

Your guide will collect you from your hotel in Bristol and drive you to the charming cathedral city of Wells.

Wells

  • 3h
You will have a private walking tour of the historic city of Wells. Some of the places visited are listed below.

Wells Market Place

  • 20m
The market place is the hub of the city. If you are visiting on a Wednesday or Sunday you will be able to experience the local market that takes place here every week. Fans of the cult film "Hot Fuzz" may recognise their surroundings as the market place featured a number of times in this film.

Wells Cathedral

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
You will visit the magnificent 13th Century Wells Cathedral. Its beautiful interior has a number of unique features including the world's second oldest working clock.

Vicar's Close

  • 10m
The picturesque Vicar's Close in Wells is the oldest residential street in Europe.

Cheddar

  • 1h
After lunch at an English pub you will be driven to Cheddar, the birth-place of the famous Cheddar cheese.

The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Today there is only one small cheese factory in the Cheddar area that still produces traditional Cheddar cheese. You will visit this to get an insight into how the cheese is made. If you are lucky you may even see it being made whilst you are there. At the end of the visit you will have the chance to taste different varieties of the cheese they produce, including a cheese which is matured in the local caves. Should you wish there will be an opportunity to purchase cheese as souvenirs or to enjoy on the rest of your holiday.

Cheddar Gorge

  • 1h
The spectacular Cheddar Gorge is England's largest gorge. Driving through the gorge you will have the opportunity to stop and walk up to your guide's favourite viewpoint on the gorge. You will be rewarded with fantastic panoramic views over the gorge and the surrounding area. This walk does involve a steep 15 minute ascent on an uneven path which can get muddy when there has been rain so this stop is optional as it may not be suitable for everyone. At the end of the tour you will be driven back to Bristol.
