Excursions

Half Day: Worcester
Worcester is built on the banks of the River Severn, and at its centre you will find its magnificent 11^th-century castle. This historic town has plenty to see and do, from its beautiful cathedral to the ‘Cardinal’s Hat’ public house that dates back to the 14^th century.

Half Day: Hay-on-Wye
Hay-on-Wye may be small but it’s a perfectly formed market town, especially as it’s nestled in a picture perfect spot at the top of the Brecon Beacons National Park, with a unique position between England and Wales. Hay-on-Wye is known as the town of books, as its home to lots of lovely bookshops and a world-famous annual literary festival. It also has medieval town walls, a popular market, and a gently flowing river that’s perfect for a peaceful walk along.

Half Day: Hereford and the Wye Valley
Hereford is a cathedral city and the county town that lies on the River Wye. Packed with historic landmarks and a history in Cider, here you can take the time to visit any of the number of fascinating museums, galleries and religious spaces. We also experience The Wye Valley with one of the most natural rivers in Britain, it rises in the mountains of mid-Wales and flows south for some 150 miles, becoming part of the border between Wales and England before meeting the Severn.

Pick-Up Information

We have introduced improvements to our network of local pick up points across eastern, central and southern England, aimed at shortening your journey times and getting you away on holiday more easily and conveniently, meaning an altogether more relaxing start. We now have two pick up regions so your travel days will be more convenient, providing more efficient journeys, meeting your tour manager and fellow travellers earlier and in most cases arriving in resort earlier.

The Tour Ref on the holiday tab indicates whether the tour departs from Area A or Area B by having either an A or B at the end. For example, GUK5A would be a tour departing from Area A.
