Description

Step on board the Belmond British Pullman, sister train to the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, hauled by a magnificent steam engine. Is there any more glamorous way to travel? Each beautiful vintage carriage dates from the 1920s or 1930s and is staffed by the Pullman’s famous liveried stewards. Choose to visit either beautiful Bath and enter the Roman Baths or see Brunel’s SS Great Britain in Bristol. The journey begins in style, with Bellini and brunch en route. On arrival, disembark for a walking tour, followed by some free time for exploring. On the return journey, relax and enjoy a glass of champagne and a sumptuous four-course meal with wine.
