Day 1:

Journey to the Wye Valley - After pick-up from your local departure points, we begin our scenic journey to the Wye Valley, with comfort stops along the way.
On arrival at the Bells Hotel & Country Club, enjoy a warm welcome with mulled wine and mince pies before settling into your comfortable 4? accommodation. Take some time to explore the hotel's facilities and soak up the festive atmosphere. In the evening, enjoy a delicious dinner, ready to relax and begin your Turkey & Tinsel festive getaway in the heart of the beautiful Wye Valley.

Day 2:

Gloucester & Free Time - Today, we travel to the historic city of Gloucester, located on the River Severn and perfectly positioned between the Cotswolds and the Forest of Dean.
Enjoy free time to explore the city at your own pace. Stroll through the city centre and browse Gloucester's many independent shops, or immerse yourself in its rich history at the Museum of Gloucester or the National Waterways Museum. No matter your interests, Gloucester offers something for everyone, from quaint streets and charming cafés to fascinating heritage sites.

Day 3:

Wye Valley, Tintern Abbey & Chepstow - After breakfast, we follow the twists and turns of the scenic Wye Valley, stopping for a coffee break and a photo opportunity at the magnificent ruins of Tintern Abbey. This national icon still stands in roofless splendour on the banks of the River Wye, nearly 500 years after its fall from grace.
We then continue to the historic walled border town of Chepstow, a medieval gem boasting an impressive 11th-century castle perched dramatically on cliffs above the River Wye. Discover the town gate, port wall, Priory Church of St Mary, and the town museum, offering plenty to interest history and culture enthusiasts.
There's also time to enjoy Chepstow's charming cafés, pubs, and restaurants, perfect for a coffee or light lunch, before returning to the hotel for dinner and evening entertainment, rounding off another memorable day in the heart of the Wye Valley.

Day 4:

Monmouth - This morning, we cross the border into Wales to visit the charming Georgian market town of Monmouth. Nestled in the tranquil lower reaches of the beautiful Wye Valley, Monmouth has been a popular tourist destination since 1780.
Explore the town at your own pace, taking in its historic streets, quaint shops, and inviting cafés. Don't miss the iconic 13th-century Gatehouse Bridge, a highlight of the town's heritage and a perfect spot for photographs. After your visit, we return to the hotel for dinner and evening entertainment, marking the final night of your Turkey & Tinsel getaway.

Day 5:
