Day excursions

A nice day visiting this lovely Cathedral City, with a fine market, great high street shopping, museums, lots of cafes and bars, all within a short walking distance.

We visit Canterbury on market day where we will spend a couple of hours before travelling onto the delightful Kent seaside resort of Margate.

Discover the birthplace of British Motorsport and Aviation at the fantastic Brooklands Museum, a site steeped in the thrills of speed and flight. Centred on the original 1907 racing circuit, Brooklands Museum is an experience like no other. Included in your day is a one hour guided tour of the Museum shortly after arrival. Before departing we will embark on another guided tour, this time it’s of the greatest supersonic airliner of all time, the beautiful Concorde.

We start our day with a visit to the lovely Helmingham Hall Gardens in Suffolk. Unfortunately, Helmingham Hall itself can only be admired from the outside as it is a private family house. However, don’t let this put you off as the exceptional gardens are a must for all those with green fingers. There is a cafe for refreshments (not included) and three shops at the property to browse. On completion of our visit we travel the short distance to Stowmarket for a while before heading home. A wonderful day out.

Join us as we travel to Maldon in Essex for a voyage aboard a vintage Thames sailing barge, Hydrogen, built in 1906. Enjoy the sights during this 2 hour cruise. Upon arrival back at the Quay, a cream tea will be served for you to enjoy. The barge has a pay bar on board which accepts cards only.
