Itinerary

London to Bristol via Windsor and Bath
Day 1
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Holiday Inn Hotel Bristol Filton (or similar)
Good morning dear Londonites! Meet your new crew and hop onto our coach. It’s time to make some moves.Hello Windsor, at the top of our agenda today is obviously, getting a magnificent view of the royal Windsor Castle! Afterwards, you’ve got some free time. So why not strut like a royal around this beautiful town studded with gardens and riverside views. And then it’s back on the coach to our next destination.Ready? We’re going back in time. Because you’ve got some free time to explore this historical town. Visit the Royal Crescent, Roman Baths, the Jane Austen museum or maybe do a canal cruise! (Go on, live your period drama dreams.)Welcome to the sea-side wonder of Bristol. Colourful buildings, crazy cliffs, beautiful bridges - you’re in for a treat. Speaking of treats…you can drop your bags off at our hotel before we feast on some well-deserved dinner. Afterwards, you’re free to roam the streets for a night out with your newly-made friends.
Bristol to Birmingham via Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon
Day 2
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Ibis Birmingham New Street Station (or similar)
Time to wake up! We’ve got some more exploration to do. And you’ve got a delicious breakfast waiting for you. Today, you can choose to check out Bristol’s street art with a local guide before we make our way into Oxford!You’ve been dreaming about this. Haven’t you? We’re finally in THE Oxford - with its world-famous museums, libraries, churches and of course, University. You can even choose to roam around the river on a Punt. There's so much to be discovered here but we have a quick stop in this quaint little town (that's also the home of Shakespeare!). In the evening, we'll head to our stop for the night - Birmingham.Hungry? We'll drop our bags off at the hotel and stroll around in the streets and grab a bite on the way. Get a good night's sleep because tomorrow, we're heading up North!
Birmingham to Manchester via Liverpool
Day 3
Duration: 1
Accommodation: ibis Manchester Centre Princess Street (or similar)
Birmingham, you’ve been grand. But we’ve got places to be. Grab some breakfast before we hop onto our coach once more.Welcome to Liverpool. Chat all things Beatlemania & football in your best Scouse accent as we take a guided city tour.Tonight we’ll bed down in Manchester – Liverpool’s neighbouring city and fellow home of musical royalty that you’re free to explore. Just remember that toniiiiiight, you’re a rock and roll star.Heads up! Some departures will include an overnight stay in Liverpool rather than Manchester. Details about this will be shared in your travel documents closer to departure.
Manchester to York
Day 4
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Holiday Inn Express Wakefield (or similar)
Lap up your last dose of Manchester before we go back to the time of the Vikings... in the traditional walled city of York. 2,000 years of history will unfold upon us as we amble down narrow lanes of York, exploring the Minster, the Shambles and Clifford’s Tower. For fans of folklore, sign up to a night of ghostly horrors and dark alleyways & prepare to be spooked.
York to Carlisle via Lake District
Day 5
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Ibis Carlisle City Centre Hotel (or similar)
Even if the ghosts of York kept you awake all night, you're going to need to rise & shine and wave goodbye to the Harry Potter like setting of this ancient city. (Sorry).  Obstacles aren’t really our thing. But when they’re all natural? Like rocky chutes, clear pools of water and even the occasional mini waterfall - all in the oh-so-stunning Lake District? Who can say no? And today, you have the option to explore it all.  We’ll end the day in quaint and charming Carlisle, England's northern-most town (right on the border of England & Scotland)! Nothing like the northern air to cosy up and wake as fresh as a daisy the next morning for all our activities.
Carlisle to Edinburgh via Hadrian's Wall
Day 6
Duration: 1
Today we are in for some border hopping along the English/Scottish border to see the sights on our way to Edinburgh! We'll take a spectacular drive to the Roman Empire’s impressive Hadrian’s Wall as well as English country charm in abundance. Back in the 21st Century, we roll into Edinburgh for the final chapter of our epic adventure. As evening falls, we’ll be dropped somewhere central, and your Trip Manager can assist with any onward travel advice if you need it. Don’t forget to exchange those deets! We’ll meet again for another soulful journey in a different destination.
