Day 1 – London – Cambridge – York - Darlington

We meet our Tour Director then drive to Cambridge, described as the ‘loveliest city in England’ and home of one of England’s finest universities.  We walk among the colleges, including magnificent King’s College then on to York.  Exploring inside the ancient city walls, we see the maze of narrow medieval streets (including the quaintly-named ‘Shambles’) and the 13th century Minster, England’s largest Cathedral,  before we continue to our hotel for dinner (D)

Day 2 – Darlington – Jedburgh – Edinburgh / Scotland

Today, across the wild Northumberland moors, our route lead us past the romantic ruins of Jedburgh Abbey and across the River Tweed before arriving in Edinburgh.  Our afternoon guided tour shows us the best of the city – the stately Royal Mile and ancient St Giles Cathedral.  We visit the castle, dominating the city from its rocky crag.  Tonight there may be the opportunity to enjoy a grand Scottish night out, complete with haggis and the skirl of the pipes.  (B)

Day 3 – Edinburgh – Lake District - Liverpool

Our first stop is Gretna to attend the Anvil Ceremony in the Blacksmiths shop, then back into England.  A scenic wonderland awaits us – the rugged mountains and tranquil dales of the Lake District, inspiration to a host of English poets, before arriving in Liverpool for our overnight stay.  (BD)

Day 4 – Liverpool – Chester – Stratford - London

This morning we will visit Chester to see the unique black and white ‘Rows’ and the town walls, which encircle them once manned by Roman legionnaires.  We also see the remains of the roman Amphitheatre.  Our next stop is the world famous Wedgwood China Factory, then on to picturesque Stratford upon Avon, home of William Shakespeare.  We walk in the footsteps of the bard to visit his birthplace.  Another scenic drive this afternoon takes us through the villages of the Cotswolds, with their thatched cottages, the prettiest part of the English countryside.  (B)
