BRISTOL
You are going see the UK through the eyes of a local and enjoy two full-day excursions every weekend plus two afternoon trips per week.

There’s so much to do in the fashionable and free-spirited city of Bristol. It’s no surprise that Banksy started life here with a can of spray paint. Take the acclaimed Banksy walking tour and discover some of the artist’s early work. Then there is the Clifton Suspension Bridge -a turning point in engineering that symbolises the city’s independent personality. Step back in time on SS Great Britiain, the world’s largest passenger ship between 1845 and1854. Don’t worry, if shopping is your thing, there will be ample opportunity to visit the illustrious Cabot Circus so you can shop till you drop!

Sidcot is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty so of course we are going to make the most of that. You’ll go hiking and caving in Cheddar Gorge, a national heritage site where the famous cheese is produced. Your Geography lessons will be brought to life when you observe the fascinating landscape and learn about its formation.
You’ll experience real adventure at Mendip Hills where your physical skills will be pushed to the limit with rock-climbing, caving, paddleboarding, kayaking and outdoor survival.

Weekend full day trips
No trip to the UK is complete without a visit to London. This is why we go to the capital every other weekend so regardless of your dates you’ll be guaranteed a visit. You see the world-famous museums, spend a king’s ransom in Harrods, admire the works of art in the National Gallery and explore the Southbank- home to Shakespeare’s Globe, Tate Modern, London Eye and Tower Bridge.

Alternative weekend trips include a trip to the charming university city of Oxford where you’ll rub shoulders with some of the biggest thinkers in the world. See for yourself if you want to study there in the future. Step into a Jane Austin novel when you visit the historical city of Bath and discover the Roman remains including the Temple of Sulis Minerva and the infamous baths complex. Or why not see if King Charles III is home when you visit Windsor- full mast means he’s home, half-mast means he out, or something sad/bad has happened. You will be able to enjoy a fossil hunt in the charming town of Lyme Regis on the Jurassic Coast and indulge in some real adventure and fun-fuelled times at Thorpe park, clip n climb and Dorset Adventure Park.
