After breakfast we depart on a full day excursion to the city of Bristol which straddles the River Avon. See the Clifton Suspension Bridge which spans the River Avon. Our first stop is Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s SS Great Britain. This iconic steamship is the world’s first great ocean liner and Bristol’s number one attraction. Rescued from rust and wreckage in 1970 she has been lovingly restored to her Victorian hey-day. We will then visit the M Shed museum which tells the story of the city and its unique place in the world through interactive displays. Later you may wish to explore some of the shops or perhaps consider a visit to the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery where you will find 19 galleries over three floors containing some world class collections of art and archaeology – including Banksy’s Paint Pot Angel and a Bristol Boxkite. The Boxkite was the first aircraft produced by the British and Colonial Aeroplane Company also known as a pusher biplane. In the evening we return to the hotel and enjoy a relaxed dinner
