Royal Worcester porcelain may be the oldest remaining porcelain brand still in existence and its remarkable museum holds the largest collection of Worcester porcelain in the world. The highlight of this tour is undoubtedly the discovery of its fascinating story. We spend the other days of our tour exploring the beautiful counties surrounding this remarkable city.
The four star Cheltenham Chase Hotel is a four star hotel set in acres of private grounds on the edge of the beautiful and picturesque Cotswolds. Professional staff, stylishly furnished bedrooms and extensive spa facilities give the perfect ingredients for a relaxing break. The hotel has a lift.
