✨We sailed through the stars in Cheshire last week with an itinerary that was highly-rated by passengers. We went out of this world at Jodrell Bank (home of the Lovell Telescope) during an immersive planetarium show, we got a ‘ticket to ride’ on a taxi tour through some of The Beatles most famous landmarks, we cruised 38m above the River Dee on Telford’s Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, we found beautiful autumn colours at Bridgemere Show Gardens and enjoyed free time in some beautiful and historical towns.

🧳We can’t wait to be back in Cheshire in January when we’ll return to Jodrell Bank (with a warming winter lunch included), head underground with a guided tour of Stockport Air Raid Shelter and head home feeling revitalised after drinking from Buxton’s famous waters following a guided tour of the beautiful Crescent Experience.

🤔Did you know Ally Pally originally opened on Queen Victoria’s birthday in 1873, but just 16 days later it was destroyed by a devastating fire? Two years later it reopened and went on to host an intriguing array of entertainment … imagine a full-size replica of Nelson’s Column in the Great Hall! Ally Pally played a huge role in both World Wars including being requisitioned as a Belgian refugee camp and the huge TV transmitter was used to jam Lutfwaffe navigation systems!

📸We loved our visit to Knit+Stitch at Ally Pally earlier this month, great pics from driver Darren.

“A brilliant itinerary, thank you”
“We enjoyed every visit”
“All excellent, well organised”

Things we love to hear 🙌🏼 it’s hardly surprising with our legendary driver, Graham, at the wheel and an itinerary that featured Cream Tea Under The Cutty Sark, Churchill’s Chartwell, Historic Dockyard Chatham, RAF Biggin Hill, Blue Town Heritage Centre, Royal Greenwich and Rochester!

🧳We can’t wait to return to Kent in Feb when highlights include a FULL DAY at Chatham Dockyard with a guided tour of the newly restored Commissioner’s House and The Ropery, plus a guided tour of one of Britain’s most remarkable underground wartime networks at The Ramsgate Tunnels.

🇮🇹‘Rome’ around Northumbria with us … We flew like an eagle over the Edge of the Empire at the Roman Army Museum, we were moved by the largest displayed section of the Sycamore Gap tree at The Sill, we adventured over the tidal causeway to Holy Island and loved exploring Bamburgh Castle, Cragside and Beamish!
