Duration: 03 Nights / 04 Days
DAY 1: LONDON - CAMBRIDGE - YORK - NORTH YORKSHIRE:
After meeting your tour Manger you drive to the world-class university city of Cambridge. You walk along the colleges including the magnificent King’s College, then off to York. Here inside the ancient city walls you wander through the narrow cobbled Shambles and see the Minster, England’s largest medieval Cathedral. Later you continue to your hotel.
DAY 2: NORTH YORKSHIRE - JEDBURGH -EDINBURGH.
It’s away to Scotland today, across the wild Northumberland Moors and the rolling Border Country past the romantic ruins of Jedburgh Abbey. Then over the salmon rich river Tweed to reach Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh. Your drive around this ‘Athens of the North’ shows us the stately Royal Mile, ancient St. Giles Cathedral and the 18th century’ New Town’ with the awe-inspiring Castle. Tonight, why not enjoy a grand Scottish night out, with haggis and the sound of bagpipes? (May - Oct only)
DAY 3: EDINBURGH - GRETNA GREEN - LAKE DISTRICT - LIVERPOOL.
You make a stop this morning at the woollen mill of Moffat before going on to Gretna Green, where many an eloping English couple have been married. You attend the ‘Anvil Ceremony’ in the Blacksmith’s Shop, then across into England. Here, you drive through Lake District scenery so beautiful it inspired many English poets such as Wordsworth. You have time to wander like Wordsworth by the lakeside before continuing to lively Liverpool, where the Beatles were born. Tonight, why not visit the reconstructed Albert Dock, with its memories of departing settlers?
DAY 4: LIVERPOOL - CHESTER - STRATFORD -LONDON.
Your first visit today is to the Roman city of Chester with its unique black and white ‘Rows’ (shopping arcades) and encircling walls. Next you stop at the world- famous Wedgwood China factory, then on to Stratford, where you visit Shakespeare’s birthplace. From Stratford you travel as he often did, through the golden-stone flower decked villages of the Cotswolds, thought by many to be one of the most beautiful parts of England. Finally you return to London.
