Overview
The sea is never far away on an intriguing holiday taking in the lesser-known delights of Poole and Swanage. As well as the town tours we visit Brownsea Island in Poole harbour, famed for its red squirrel population, Corfe Castle, one of the most picturesque in the country and beaches galore. Studland, Swanage. Sandbanks, Bournemouth. We have plenty of choice. Please note Studland beach has a section devoted to naturism. This will doubtless be particularly appealing for holidays departing February, March and November.
We stay in Bournemouth, a stone's throw from the lovely promenade, mercifully free of day trippers in the winter months but still a lovely place for a stroll on arrival day. Anyone with any interest in art should give some time to see the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery. One of the finest outside London.
We will use public transport to get around, local buses and the ferry across the mouth of Poole harbour. Poole is a continuation of Bournemouth but the old town by the harbour is beautifully preserved and will be brought to life by our Blue badge Guide. We will use the local buses to get to Swanage to see the town and walk some easy yet stunning trails. We also explore Corfe enjoying its castle and model village.

Welcome to God's country. This is a holiday defined by four fine and contrasting buildings. Harrogate Pump Room, Harrogate Turkish Baths, York Minster and Fountains Abbey. Throw in some fine walking and two guided tours and we have a great recipe for a short break. Enjoy!
Beautiful countryside, culture and history dating back to the Norman conquest. Worcester is well known for its civil war connections, beautiful cathedral, cricket ground and sauce. Malvern is perhaps less well known unless you're a fan of Morgan cars but as a place to stay for a few days it is hard to beat.
A tale of two cities. Beautifully preserved and set amongst lovely countryside! Both cities have played important roles in history and have preserved their historic cultures impeccably.
Literary connections and beautiful countryside combine for a memorable holiday. Haworth is perhaps the most famous literary village in the country but is also a set in beautiful country. Skipton is a very different place but just as engaging!
