With the School Summer Holidays almost over and everyone returning to their normal routine of school and work, we thought it would be great fun to think about those fabulous holiday souvenirs. Everyone’s had the experience of receiving a tacky souvenir from a friend or relative that’s been on holiday and for us at Door2Tour.com, there’s so many in the building, it’s unreal! One of our departments even has a competition where the aim of the game is to find the tackiest and cheapest souvenir possible and bring it back for the ‘Tack Shelf’. So we’ve taken some inspiration from all this tacky souvenir hoarding and conducted a poll of our office to find out what tacky treats everyone is hiding away (or proudly displaying) for the world to see!

We're in the midst of the festival season, but with the torrential weather putting a dampener on some of our festival experiences, there's definitely places, other than our vaguely waterproof pop up tents, that we would rather be.

Take a look at what we’ve come up with below and if you’ve holidayed here before, let us know of your experiences…

It would appear that The Lonely Planet considers Castle Howard to be one of the world’s Top 10 grand homes but did you know that there are many other stately homes that you simply must visit at least once in your lifetime? The best way to see these stunning buildings is to travel on coach holidays where a guide will take you around these grand estates and provide you with little titbits of history taking you back to the time when they were first occupied. You’ll probably find that a lot of the Stately Homes that we have included in our Top 5 have also appeared in recent films or TV series so their popularity is quite huge at the moment. Take a look at what we’ve cherry-picked below and don’t forget to get in touch should you feel we’ve missed one…
