The Wanderer is a 30 ft caravan that was custom built in 1884 for former naval officer Dr. William Gordan Stables. Beautifully crafted from mahogany and maple wood, and painted black and gold it was designed for stylish travel. It was pulled by two horses, Captain Corn-flower and Polly Pea-blossom.

The Wanderer underwent a ten year restoration and is now on display at Cotswolds Caravan Club.

Thanks Bruce!
