Step Back in Time

Step Back in Time

Transport yourself to the past when we visit Blists Hill Victorian Town, a captivating living museum where traditional life and industry sit side by side at the dawn of the modern age. As we pass through its gates, we'll find ourselves immersed in the sights, sounds, and sensations of a bygone era. Stroll along cobbled streets, engage with costumed characters, and explore a diverse array of period shops, homes, and industrial sites, all vividly re-creating the vibrant 1800s. Our journey back in time continues when we visit the Great British Car Journey, a world-class museum that will lead you through the evolution of British car manufacturing and will unveil a remarkable collection of classic cars that have shaped the British motoring industry. For an even deeper immersion into the past, we'll take a ride on world-renowned vintage trams and delve into their fascinating history at the Crich Tramway Village.
