Christmas in Shropshire & The Welsh Borderlands

Monday

Departing Henley-in-Arden, we visit the Trentham Estate - a unique shopping experience with a fine blend of independent and renowned high street names, cafes and restaurants housed in over 80 timber lodges, offering the perfect lunch time break before we reach our hotel near Whitchurch in time for dinner and for our 4-night stay.

Tuesday

Enjoy a hearty breakfast before embarking on a 2-hr Llangollen Canal Pleasure Cruise over the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct with mulled wine and mince pies included. Our canal boat offers comfortable seating and central heating meaning you can relax and take in the scenic views in comfort. Enjoy your favourite tipple in the bar before dinner with carols around the tree.

Wednesday

Wake up on Christmas morning to a delicious full breakfast before relaxing until lunchtime where a magnificent Christmas Carvery Lunch awaits. In the afternoon relax in our Denby Lounge with the Kings Speech, before a light cold evening buffet.

Thursday

Breakfast awaits before we drive to Chester. The morning is free for you to explore the pretty medieval streets and city walls and the 700-year-old Rows galleries shopping street. In the afternoon we take our seats at the Chester Storyhouse Theatre for the matinee performance of 'Sleeping Beauty'. We return to our hotel for dinner and live musical entertainment.

Friday

Departing after breakfast, we visit the Royal Air Force Museum at Cosford. Here, you will discover one of the largest aviation collections in the UK that spans nearly 80 years of aviation history. We return home early afternoon.
