   Weird and Wonderful Ways to Visit Britain

   If you’re planning to visit Britain this summer, take a look at these unusual ways to get around. There’s something for everyone!

   1 If you’d like to get a bird’s-eye view of Bath, take a balloon ride over the city and see all the beautiful architecture from above. You’ll be in the air for about an hour – the best time to go is early morning or in the evening. Balloon rides are suitable for everyone from nine to 90, but you must book in advance. Remember to check the weather forecast on the day, because you won’t be able to travel if the weather is bad.

   2 The Great Orme tramway has operated since 1902, and it’s the only tram of this kind in the country. At the end of the ride you’ll reach the Great Orme nature park, and if it’s a clear day you’ll be able to see the coast and the mountains of Snowdonia. There’s also a café and a mini-golf course at the top. Trams operate seven days a week, every 20 minutes from 10 am until 6 pm. For only 5.00 return, it’s a great day out.

   3 This strange contraption will take you over to Burgh Island in Devon. There’s nothing quite like it! The sea-tractor travels on enormous wheels with its passengers high up above the water. When you reach the island you can follow in the footsteps of Agatha Christie – she wrote one of her famous detective novels here.
