Today, after breakfast we enjoy a drive into the Royal County of Berkshire, part of the Great West Way and a guided visit to Whitchurch Silk Mill. The Mill is built on Frog Island, around which the River Test and its tributary flow. The crystal clear waters have provided the Mill with power for over 200 years, by driving a cast iron waterwheel, which was made in the 1890s. Later we head to Milestones Museum, from cobbled streets to a seaside pier and everything between, this is a real museum of living history.

Today we offer an optional excursion visiting Marlborough on market day. The high street, one of the widest in the UK, is lined on both sides with characterful old buildings housing an array of high quality shops. In the afternoon we continue to Swindon designer outlet.

We stop in Broadway, Burton-on-the-Water and end the day with a stop at Cirencester, known as the capital of the Cotswolds. It is a historic market town in the heart of the region. Cirencester’s medieval prosperity as a wool town is reflected in its charming streets, honey-coloured stone buildings, and rich architectural heritage.

Sitting along the River Avon and Kennet and Avon canal, the market town of Bradford-on-Avon is the ideal location to stop and relax along the Great West Way. Later we return to our drop offs.
