Itinerary (Coach)

23^rd December

After joining the coach, we make our way to our hotel and check in.

Christmas Eve – The New Forest (Lymington & Lyndhurst)

On Christmas Eve we explore the New Forest, England’s smallest National Park, famous for its tranquil ambience and free roaming ponies. We visit the Forest’s capital of Lyndhurst and the coastal town and former smuggler’s port, Lymington, with its cobbled streets and attractive quayside.

Christmas Day

Christmas Day is a day of relaxation and leisure in Bournemouth, where our hotel provides a hearty Christmas lunch with all the trimmings as well as a light buffet dinner.

Boxing Day – Salisbury

On Boxing Day we head to Salisbury, often referred to as ‘the city in the countryside.’ As well as being a great place for shopping, the city is home to a fine medieval cathedral that boasts the tallest spire in Britain and an original copy of the Magna Carta.

27^th December

After breakfast, we check out of our hotel and head for home.
