Meet the team
Manager recommends: There’s so much to do on this city break! For a start, Bletchley Park, site of the war time codebreakers and the first computer is a fascinating trip, but allow at least a day to see it all! For an activity break with children visit the Sno-Dome with winter sports and rock climbing or Woburn Safari Park.
