Please Note: This trip is hauled by vintage diesel aboard our beautiful land cruise train 'Spirit of the Lakes'
We depart from London Victoria at approximately 08:45 and head to our destination of Bath via Andover and Salisbury. After over three hours in Bath we return home behind one of our Diesel work horses planning to arrive in London Victoria for 20:38. The return journey will be via Salisbury and Southampton.
Bath is a beautiful city at any time of year, but Christmas is a special time to visit as the centre comes alive with festive cheer. Bath's rich heritage which runs from Roman to Regency and beyond comes alive with Christmas stalls, festive food, and merriment throughout the day. So why not travel in style aboard our Pullman special, enjoying great food and wine and on arrival step back in time to discover the wonderful world of Christmas in Bath.
The magical and award-winning Bath Christmas Market is back and it’s bigger and better than ever! There are over 150 twinkling chalets spread out across the picturesque Georgian streets of Bath selling handmade and local Christmas gifts. The chalets will sell a range of seasonal gifts, food and drink and the proposed site will be similar to previous years by re-introducing the areas around the beautiful Bath Abbey. Plus, this year it's their 20th anniversary!
Soak up the sights, smells and festive ambience of Bath at Christmas and enjoy more than a market. There’s a packed calendar of family-friendly events, top restaurants, beautiful architecture and the UK’s only natural thermal day spa, Thermae Bath Spa.
