Optionals

On every itinerary, we offer a range of optional excursions that allow you to further enhance your experience should you so choose. These are purchased when you are on your trip, via your Trafalgar Travel Director. Depending on the region visited these can be paid with cash or credit card.

  • CHESTER

    • + NORTH WALES EXCURSION Out of England and into Wales! Our excursion to Wales takes us to Llangollen the home of the International Music Eisteddfod. All around us are wonderful sights and sounds - the River Dee, steam trains at the Victorian railway station, a myriad of flowers on the river bank. Listen out for the local people speaking the sing-song Welsh language. We then travel through the magnificent Valley of the Cross, past the slate mines and up to the Horseshoe Pass to enjoy views of the Welsh hills.

  • WINDERMERE

    • + WINDERMERE CRUISE AND STEAM TRAIN RIDE A chance to view the glorious scenery of the lake district as we cruise across England's largest lake. Then step back in time as we board the steam train for a short journey from Lakeside to Haverthwaite.

    • + PRIVATE CRUISE ON LAKE WINDERMERE Enjoy an exclusive cruise on a private boat on England's most beautiful lake taking in the northern coastline, many beautiful houses and gardens and Wray Castle. We also see deserted islands, boats, birdlife and have a chance to breath in the local air and appreciate the area so loved by Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth. A photographers' paradise.

  • EDINBURGH

    • + DINNER EVENING Join your traveling companions for dinner in an exciting local restaurant. A drink is included.

    • + ROYAL YACHT BRITANNIA This magnificent ship has played host to some of the most famous people in the world. But, above all, Britannia was home to Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Family. For four royal couples, Britannia was to provide a honeymoon sanctuary before the onset of married life in the world's most photographed family. Now berthed in Leith, you are welcomed on board to discover the heart and soul of this most special of royal residences.

    • + SCOTTISH SHOW WITH DINNER Tonight is a chance to put on that tartan and join us for an evening of singing, dancing and bagpipe playing at an Internationally famous venue. There is food, wine and a great atmosphere. Join in with the singing, we'll show you a Highland dance or two and there's a chance to sample Scotland's national dish - haggis. It's a grand night and a wonderful way to celebrate an evening in Edinburgh.

  • WARWICK

    • + WARWICK CASTLE This excursion allows you to explore the 'jewel in the crown' of England's great medieval castles. You will visit the magnificent State Apartments, be amazed by the incredibly life-like Madame Tussauds wax-works as you explore the 'Kingmaker Exhibition' and 'Royal Weekend House Party'; and (if you're feeling adventurous) climb Guy's and Caesar's Towers for panoramic views out over the Warwickshire countryside before descending into the grim Gaol with it's 'oubliette'. You may even get to see the firing of the greatest of all medieval siege weapons, the Trebuchet. (NB. 'The Castle Dungeon' is a separate experience, at an additional fee, and is not included).
