SPECIALITY TOURS
Merry Olde England
Warwick Castle, Shakespeare's Stratford and Blenheim Palace.
Go back in time to a land of myths and mysteries.... start off at Warwick, the finest medieval castle in England. See how knights in armour lived in 1068.
Then move onto Stratford to see the five Shakespeare houses, including Anne Hathaway's humble thatched cottage.
A sharp contrast with the vast glory of Blenheim, the Cotswold's most romantic stately home.
William Morris Arts and Crafts
A Cotswold tour with a difference
Not only beautiful chocolate-box villages of thatched roofs and rural beauty, but also a true artist's delight, as we link today's Cotswolds with William Morris and the 19th century Arts and Crafts Movement, still very much alive today in Chipping Campden and the surrounding areas. The tour includes a visit to workshops and special exhibitions, plus fabulous Kelmscott Manor, William Morris' country home.
Tour must be organised around attraction opening times.
A COTSWOLD TOUR REMEMBERED
"Why organise all this on your own? In five days we covered the Cotswolds, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick Castle, Oxford, Stonehenge and Blenheim. We even visited the US forces memorial at Runnymeade, which we'd wanted to see for years. Don made it all so easy and such fun." Mr and Mrs Rogers, Indianapolis.
