... AND RELAX!
~
 
As we come to the end of a very busy season – our best ever year – we need to make an apology and say a big thank you before we take a breather with a cup of tea and a biscuit or two and prepare for 2023!
 
Firstly - apologies for being so quiet on our social media and in sending out our newsletters (which we know from your comments are avidly read by at least some people!).  We have been sooo busy this year organising exciting trips for our wonderful clients that something had to give and we wanted to put all our time and energy into making sure your holidays were as perfect as possible.
 
And that leads us onto a big THANK YOU to all our clients for trusting us with your precious holiday time and letting us share the delights of the UK and Europe with you.
 
Life in the UK has been somewhat eventful of late (some classic British understatement there!) and while our thoughts and prayers are still with those struggling in other parts of the world, we recognise that travel is one of the best ways to help us understand each other and appreciate the good in the world.
 
As ever we have ideas for new trips as well as little improvements to our existing favourites - so watch this space - and the meantime pour yourself a cuppa and take a look ...
 
Happy browsing,
 
  BOOK NOW!
Thank you for all the feedback - all completed surveys rated our trips Good, Very Good or Excellent (with the vast majority Excellent)! For our North American friends, with the $/£ exchange rate more favourable than for many years, now is a great time to book that trip to the UK you have been planning! However we are already seeing hotels in early summer getting very busy - so plan early to get the best rooms! Get inspired with our Walking and Cycling trips.

 
  KENT WAS OUR MOST POPULAR CYCLING DESTINATION    
Kent known as the Garden of England, is increasing in popularity as the whole county has so much to offer being such a convenient journey from London and yet with countryside, history, coast and a lot of castles! With most clients opting for a Kent Seaside Jolly, you could also try Kent Castles and the added bonus for cyclists is that our routes are mostly flat and with lots of lovely stops for tea!  


 
 
  THE THAMES PATH TAKES THE LEAD!
The Thames Path was our most popular walking trip this year with most starting at the Source in Gloucestershire and wandering with the river to elegant Henley and stopping to admire the 'dreaming spires' of Oxford en route. Hopefully some of you will return to complete the trip from Henley into London and a wonderful and surprisingly rural route that allows you to walk traffic free into the beating heart of the city.  Take a peak.. ..  

 
 
We had some great feedback from clients who took this new trip in 2022 and it looks set to become as popular as our Potter through Provence.  With wonderful scenery and several of the most beautiful villages in France, we have included some seriously special Chateau hotels and Michelin star dining.  Add to this the amazing prehistory of Lascaux and the Vezere valley and you have a very special trip - did we mention the wine?...  See more
