About us

Celebrate the birthday of Isambard Kingdom Brunel with a one‑of‑a‑kind guided experience led by our charismatic IKB impersonator. Beginning at our Visitor Centre, this immersive tour brings Brunel's remarkable achievements—and personality—to life as you walk in his footsteps.

Your journey continues across the iconic Tamar Bridge, where "Brunel" himself will share fascinating stories about his visionary work, personal challenges, and extraordinary legacy. Along the way, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the engineering marvel that put Saltash on the map: the Royal Albert Bridge. Discover how it was designed, the ingenuity behind its construction, and the enduring impact it has had on British engineering.

Filled with humour, historical insight, and unforgettable views, this guided experience is perfect for history enthusiasts, families, and anyone curious about the man who helped shape modern Britain.

Join us for a birthday celebration unlike any other—and meet Brunel as you've never seen him before.
