Itinerary

Manchester, Chester & the Lakes – 3 Day Rail Itinerary

Think of Manchester and many think of football. But just north of this vibrant city, sits the enchanting countryside of The Lake District. And, 40 miles to the south, the historic city streets of Chester. Whilst these three destinations are close in distance, and can easily be combined as part of a visit to the North of England, the contrast between them has to be seen to be believed.

Christmas time in Great Britain is a unique blend of festive fun, wonderful tradition and magical experiences. For those visiting over the holiday period we have put together a list of some of the unmissable Christmas markets that will be running in different locations around the country. From mulled wine & mince pies, to meeting Santa in his grotto, a visit to a Christmas market is an absolute must for any traveller who wants to experience the warm heart of Great Britain at Christmas.

To add a touch of magic to any visit, book your clients on a trip to one of Great Britain’s ice rinks. In winter, the grounds and courtyards of some of Britain’s most iconic and unexpected castles, palaces and historic landmarks are transformed into winter wonderlands, resplendent with fairy lights, Christmas trees and, of course, ice rinks.

This means that for every £1 that Government invested in us, we delivered £25 to the British economy – spread across the nations and regions.
