The English Riviera is a mystery no more after our fascinating guided tour from regional expert, Graham. To celebrate legendary local author, Agatha Christie, our enthusiastic group reenacted the famous meeting of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple on the platform at Torquay Station - thanks to everyone for being such great sports! We enjoyed a cruise along the River Dart to Agatha’s holiday home at Greenway and went underground into Kent’s Cavern - a place our ancient ancestors once called home! We can’t wait to return to this beautiful cliff top hotel, The Headland, in November with a fab festive itinerary.

We didn’t see Dracula or Little John but we had a lovely sunny day on Yorkshire’s Heritage Coast in Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay!

Whitby inspired the 1897 gothic novel, Dracula, and legend has it that Robin Hood defeated French pirates in the Bay 🤔

✅ Great to tick off a few from our bucket list in Northern Ireland this month. The colossal Giant’s Causeway has to be seen to be believed and the sensitive retelling of The Unsinkable Ship at the Titanic Exhibition was authentic and unforgettable. Special mention to our guide that took us deep into the turbulent history of Belfast - signing the Peace Wall really made us pause for thought.

📸Thank you to everyone that joined us on this special week, and to Carl for hosting a great stay and returning with these lovely photos. Can you spot yourself in the pics?
