Join us on this lovely winter break for a truly unique spectacle as hundreds of illuminated lanterns transform the beautiful Longleat Estate into a glowing winter wonderland. We also visit the Safari Park, the festively decorated Elizabethan stately home**, and have time for shopping at Bristol Christmas Market.
Day 1 We travel across the country toward Bradford-on-Avon and our hotel, making suitable refreshment stops along the way.
Day 2 We have a full day at Longleat to make the most of the many attractions. Visit the animals as we drive through the amazing Safari Park*; see the house** and gardens decorated beautifully for Christmas; enjoy a trip on the jungle cruiser and buy wonderful Christmas gifts. At 4pm the lights come on and the grounds are populated with spectacular illuminated forms – a sight not to be missed!
Day 3 After a leisurely breakfast, we travel to Bristol, with time to explore the Christmas Market and to get lunch. Early afternoon we make our way homewards to our taxis.
Set within five acres of landscaped gardens, this classical Georgian country house hotel in Bradford-on-Avon is bursting with charm and character. The restaurant enjoys picturesque views over the Wiltshire Downs and the traditional bar with cosy seating is the perfect place to relax. The individually designed bedrooms have TV, WiFi, telephone, hairdryer and hospitality tray. Due to the period property, there is no lift but there are some ground floor rooms.
