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.

Itinerary

Rail itineraries – East Anglia 4 day trip

This 4 day itinerary from Cambridgeshire to Norfolk takes in broad vistas, historic cities and the tranquil coastlines of England’s eastern counties.

Like That, Love This

The UK is home to some of the world’s best – and busiest – attractions. Stonehenge stone circle, the Roman city of Bath, Gothic Canterbury cathedral and the exciting capital city of London all see more than their fair share of tourists.

But why should visitors join the throng? Swerve away from some of the classics instead and there are numerous alternatives that are just as enticing.
