Personalized Tours

Unlike joining a large impersonal tour group, you can see what you want to see at your own pace avoiding the crowds (and the hassles with packing/unpacking, carrying luggage, constantly changing hotels, deadlines, etc!)

Relaxed safe travel is by Range Rover or luxury 8 seater, usually travelling the most picturesque byways "Far from the madding crowd"! So much better and safer than driving yourself as we take the strain so that you can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. And our knowledge and experience will ensure you see lots more of England than you would have otherwise, not only the well known places but also many 'secret' treasures off the beaten track and rarely visited by tourists.

We are situated in Southern England, the most beautiful, interesting and historic part of the country, easily accessible to London, and within easy reach of many famous places, such as Bath, Stonehenge, the Cotswolds, Glastonbury, etc, and literally hundreds of lesser known but equally interesting places: National Trust properties, gracious houses, medieval cathedrals and abbeys, glorious gardens, historic castles, ancient churches, pretty thatched villages, all set in magnificent English countryside, and bounded by spectacular coastal scenery. You could stay for months and there would still be more to see!

Here are just a few suggested itineraries: . . .

• Stonehenge, Old Sarum, Salisbury town and cathedral, stately Wilton House with its impressive paintings.
• Bath, the Georgian town and the Roman Baths, Stourhead 18thc Landscape Gardens, lakes and follies.
• King Arthur's legendary Camelot, Glastonbury Tor, the romantic abbey, the Holy Thorn and Chalice Well.
• Southern Cotswolds including the delightful villages of Castle Combe, Lacock and the historic houses of Lacock Abbey and Dyrham Park.
• Elizabethan houses and gardens: Montacute House, Barrington Court, Tintinhull Gardens, Lytes Carey.
• Thomas Hardy's Wessex, his cottage "Under the Greenwood Tree", Casterbridge, Egdon Heath etc.
• Sedgemoor Battlefield, the Monmouth Rebellion and the Somerset Levels.
• Jane Austen's (and Meryl Streeps') Lyme Regis, medieval Abbotsbury Swannery and the spectacular Dorset Coast.
• Lord Bath's magnificent home, Longleat House with lions! and wonderful Wells Cathedral.
• Sherborne's historic town, glorious medieval Abbey, and Sir Walter Raleigh's two castles.
• Wimborne Minister and handsome Kingston Lacey and its art collection (Titan, Rembrandt, Van Dyke).
• Milton Abbas, Englands' most beautiful thatched village and it's 12thc abbey.
• The New Forest, hunting grounds of Medieval Kings, picturesque villages, wild ponies and deer.
• Purbeck and Corfe Castle, Lawrence of Arabia Trail, The American Connection, D-Day sites ... and many, many more!

Or you can plan your own itinerary: anywhere within a reasonable distance.

If you wish to travel further afield, perhaps to visit to London sightseeing or shopping, or to the North Cotswolds, Stratford on Avon, or anywhere you wish (within reason), we can take you at a very moderate additional cost.
If you wish to pursue any special interests, e.g. antique hunting, genealogy, military history, hill walking, horse riding, or even a game of golf we can include it.

You can also enjoy pleasures that most tourists cannot; watching badgers at dusk, morning service in a 13th century village, country walks, rural fairs, and ancient traditions.
