Unique Culinary experiences in England
This winter, the Southwest England tour provider is offering a couple of experiences that I think might be especially interesting to your readers. Historic Pubs, Mining & Dining and Medieval Morsels & Memories are two dining experiences that explore the culinary tradition of Bath, England. While Bath is best known as a historic spa town with old Roman baths and the modern Thermae Bath Spa, it also has its share of fantastic local beers, ciders and cheeses and world-class gastro-pubs. It’s a great place for anyone who wants to explore English food and drink. Two-course dinner and drinks are included in the price of each Around & About Bath tour.
“There’s so much to see and do in Bath and its surrounding region during the colder months. The festive season is truly special, with Christmas markets, fire-side drinks and choral experiences in and around the city. After Christmas, Bath is fabulous for those looking to benefit from lower room and flight rates and enjoy the attractions without the crowds,” said Around & About Bath founder and former history teacher Jules Mittra.
