Join a one-hour Lynmouth walk with Dan. Harbour, flood memorial, and Watersmeet tales, told with humor in a small group.
“Highly recommend this tour if you want to know the history of Lynmouth and how the past has shaped the town into what it is today. Our tour guide, Dan, enthralled us with tales of seafaring explorers and doomed sinking ships due to the ferocity of the sea bordering the town. We heard intriguing historical tales of smugglers and villains, learnt about the history of the heritage listed buildings in the town and marveled at the writers and creatives who spent time here.”
A self-guided Bristol Harbourside walk with Helen’s audio, free stops, and classic docks scenery, built for an easy 2 to 3 hour loop.
“Disappointing narration due to hard to follow directions, some streets not named and some had blocked access. Detours and errors made walk much longer than advertised. Gave up half way.”
Self-guided Bristol treasure hunt by app from Bristol Cathedral to the harbour, with puzzles, points and a Banksy finale for up to 5.
“So very enjoyable. There was some building work going on in some places which made it more difficult to finish the puzzles. All in all very enjoyable and a fun way to explore Bristol. One thing I would mention is the limited"pause" option, just one. If you want to take your time and have a coffee and later on some lunch you cannot.”
Every kind of day out in the country, best first.
