Itinerary
Day 1 Whitchurch Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home, for your journey to Shropshire and our hotel, the Macdonald Hill Valley Hotel & Spa (4T), where we stay on full board basis. We aim for you to arrive at the hotel between 4pm and 5pm, with the remaining afternoon designated to relaxing in the hotel and the 300 acres of grounds. Enjoy a welcome drink before dinner is served this evening. Day 2 Christmas Eve - World of Wedgwood Museum Wedgwood is a household name, brought to us by the astonishing craftsman and cultural pioneer Josiah Wedgwood. We head to the World of Wedgwood Museum to see how his influence has lasted for nearly 260 years. This unique record of ceramic production in Britain reveals changes in fashion with cutting-edge designs (please note that the Wedgwood factory is closed today). Enjoy an exquisite cream tea before we return to the hotel for lunch, with the afternoon free to enjoy at leisure. Maybe enjoy the hotel’s facilities or explore the beautiful area. Dinner this evening will be followed by entertainment at the hotel. Day 3 Christmas Day - Whitchurch Start your Christmas celebrations with a hearty breakfast, and a morning at leisure. A traditional Christmas lunch is served with all the trimmings, followed by the opportunity to watch the Queen’s speech if you wish. The afternoon is at leisure and a light dinner is provided this evening. Day 4 Boxing Day - Llangollen Railway After breakfast we have an included excursion to the delightful Welsh town of Llangollen for a trip on the heritage railway. The steam hauled train follows the River Dee through the Dee Valley, an area of outstanding natural beauty along the base of the Berwyn Mountains, to Corwen. We return to the hotel for lunch, with the afternoon free to enjoy. Perhaps visit the market town of Whitchurch, just a mile away; it has everything that is useful from a wide range of independent specialist shops to lovely coffee shops and traditional pubs. It’s the only town in Shropshire to have been continuously inhabited since Roman times. Although little of these times remain, half-timbered buildings and the Georgian church still decorate the town. Dinner is followed by live entertainment this evening. Day 5 Whitchurch You will be collected at 10am by your Titan vehicle, for the journey home.
