Culture and craft
Workshops, makers, markets and the people who run them.
Built around appointments rather than sights: studios, kitchens, kilns and looms, with interpreting where it is needed. The itinerary is deliberately thin so that the good hours can run long.
5 of our 13 journeys are built this way. They are listed below.
