England Trips

The Lake District’s stunning scenery makes it a deservedly popular holiday destination. You’ll marvel at the soaring mountains – known locally as fells – magnificent lakes and scenic valleys. But when you travel with us you’ll do much more than admire the views. You’ll spend a morning on a working farm, learning about traditional farming methods and meeting the sheep, goats and cattle, before eating lunch with the family. We’ll also take you to Grasmere, where the poet William Wordsworth lived and wrote his most acclaimed poem, The Daffodils, and to St Oswald’s Church where he is buried.

Equally delightful, but completely different, is the walled city of York, with its rich Viking heritage. Your Travel Director will lead you around its narrow cobbled streets, showing you the ancient city walls and the magnificently gothic York Minster, before taking you for a drink in a traditional English pub. Then we’ll take you on to one of England’s lesser known regions, the North East, where the unspoiled beauty has to be seen to be believed. Here you’ll visit the dramatic yet gentle Northumberland National Park, known as England’s most tranquil place.

In graceful, stately Bath, you’ll admire the imposing Georgian buildings and visit the Roman baths which gave the city its name. We’ll then show you another side to the nearby village of Glastonbury, famous now for its annual music festival. We’ll take you instead to the ruins of its ancient abbey, where King Arthur is thought to be buried. Further north, we’ll take you on a scenic drive through the countryside to Stratford upon Avon. Here, you’ll visit Shakespeare’s birthplace as well as his wife Anne Hathaway’s thatched cottage. You’ll learn about medieval English life and marvel at the rich colours of the stunning Victorian cottage garden.
