England ~ A Coast-to-Coast Adventure
Consistently one of our most popular trips, this challenging 6-day/7-night itinerary delivers a spectacular overview of England, spanning 85 miles of quintessential countryside from the wild and unspoiled landscape of the Lake District to the verdant dales of Yorkshire. We explore the haunts of Charlotte Brontë, James Herriot, and William Wordsworth, crossing sheep-dotted hills, heather- covered moors, lakeside paths and stonewalled fields. We retrace a portion of the storied “Coffin Road,” explore royal castles and Gothic abbeys, ride an historic steam train, discover picturesque market towns, stay at outstanding hotels and inns, sample local ales and traditional cheeses, and end with a celebratory drink on a stunning beach along the North Sea. Wildlife plays a special role in this walk, and at any moment we may spot grouse, plover, kingfisher or deer.
England ~ Cornwall’s Creeks, Coves & Coastal Trails
With the sound of the ocean always within earshot, atmospheric Cornwall seems more of an island than a peninsula, with a dialect and cultural identity all its own. Join us for some of the finest coastal walking in all of Europe, as we explore quintessential fishing villages, craggy smugglers’ coves, secluded beaches, seaside paths, and sub-tropical gardens – a happy result of the balmy Gulf Stream microclimate that bathes the Cornish coast. We follow in the footsteps of novelist and suspense writer Daphne du Maurier on the South West Coast Path, examine storm-weathered castles and historic churches, relax in lovely seaside hotels, sample pasties in traditional thatched pubs, and set sail across peaceful estuaries. Highlights include visits to the mysterious Lost Gardens of Heligan, a once-neglected Victorian estate now fully restored to its former glory, and the lush, 25-acre ravine garden of Trebah, which drops 200 feet to a beach from which the 29th US Infantry division embarked on their D-Day invasion of Normandy.
