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 caf6 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.

(M = Man, W = Woman, В = Boy)
M: Well, good morning everyone, and welcome to the balloon trip! Sorry you had to get up so early this morning, but this really is the best time to go up in the balloon. Its quieter early in the morning and the light is fantastic. And of course ; today we’re lucky because its going to be a beautiful day - there isn’t much wind and its I going to stay dry all day!
So I’m just going to tell you a bit about the trip before we go. We’re going to travel a total distance of about ten miles – that’s about 16 kilometres. We’ll go up to a height of about 500 metres or more - sometimes we actually , get up to over 800 metres! The trip will start here, and then we’ll travel over the city centre, so you’ll see the Abbey and the river, and all the beautiful architecture ...
Of course the thing about travelling by balloon is that we don’t know exactly where we’re going to come down at the end - it won’t be in the same place as where we start! It all depends on the weather conditions and the wind ... but don’t worry, we’ll come down safely wherever it is!
So, on this trip there are eight of us – that’s me, my assistant Bill, and the six of you. Before we go, has anyone got any questions? Yes?
W: Can we take photos while we’re up in the balloon?
M: Yes, you can. Just remember to be careful ; with your camera – don’t drop it! Any more questions?
B: Will it be…
