World of Wedgwood visit and return home

Before travelling home we visit the award-winning World of Wedgwood, a unique visitor experience celebrating the very best of British industrial and design heritage. A 45 minute guided factory tour reveals the processes behind quality ceramic production followed by free time to visit the Wedgwood Museum that traces more than 250 years of ground-breaking design and production and Josiah Wedgwood’s lasting influence on industry and society.

Day 3

National Memorial Arboretum & Lichfield

This morning we travel to National Memorial Arboretum.  This 150-acre site is home to over 330 thought-provoking memorials covering both military and civilian associations, along with tributes for individuals. It is also home to a variety of trees, flora and fauna making it a haven for nature lovers to enjoy. Whilst here take a trip on our covered land train and enjoy the running commentary as you explore the lush gardens of the Arboretum and the symbolism, design and fascinating stories behind many of the memorials.

You may wish to join in the Act of Remembrance, at 11am in the Millennium Chapel, including a short service and two minutes’ silence, followed by an introduction to the history and grounds (limited seating available).

This afternoon, we visit Lichfield, a vibrant and historic city and district located in the heart of Staffordshire. Lichfield’s streets are lined with museums, independent shops, and mouth-watering restaurants and cafes.
