☀️ Here comes the Sun… with an escorted city break to Wi******er this February ☀️ As winter lingers, now is the perfect moment to lift the gloom with an early spring escape. Join Brookland Travel on a rejuvenating last-minute escorted city break to Wi******er, where history, culture, art and glorious spring gardens come together.

This two- or three-night UK getaway is designed to refresh and inspire. Explore Wi******er Cathedral, including a visit to the breathtaking Helios sun installation - a stunning touring artwork by Luke Jerram that brings the surface of the sun to life through light, imagery and sound.

With expert guidance throughout, you’ll discover why Wi******er, once the capital of England, is such a remarkable city. Enjoy walks through historic streets, medieval ruins, and hidden corners, all brought to life by engaging commentary from historian Julian Humphrys.

Garden lovers can delight in exclusive visits to beautiful private spring gardens, led by renowned horticulturalist Andrew McIndoe McIndoe, as well as a visit to the Sir Harold Hillier Winter Garden & Arboretum, home to one of Europe’s finest winter garden collections with snowdrops, hellebores, camellias, magnolias and more.
