Day excursions

With stunning views of the English Channel to enjoy while strolling the Victorian promenade, the historic town of Hythe has plenty to offer. Enjoy a spot of shopping in the unique, independent shops that line the high street, or relax and watch the world go by in the plethora of cafés, restaurants and bars.

Estuaries are magical places. In all we visit three of the most beautiful river estuaries in East Anglia: the Stour, the Orwell and the Deben. After a morning of exploring, we enjoy a one course Carvery lunch prior to the 90 min afternoon river cruise on the River Deben with tea and cake.

A day out to the Cathedral City of Canterbury. Wednesday is Market Day, so why not see if you can pick up a bargain in the vibrant market. After time here, we travel onto the village of Molash where a 2 course lunch awaits at The George. A former coaching inn, in the picturesque North Downs, the family run restaurant prides itself on the quality of it’s home made food using excellent locally sourced produce wherever possible.

In 1666 the Great Fire swept away much of the London of our ancestors but the flames died to ashes to leave one corner of the City untouched. The morning tour includes the precincts of St. Paul’s, a rose garden in the haunted ruins of Greyfriars, Postman’s Park, historic Smithfield and London’s oldest parish church of St Bartholomew the Great. With a gentle walking tour, a coach tour and a relaxing canal cruise through Regents Park, this is a day of great contrasts and stories.

We start our day with a visit to the Van Hage Garden Centre near Ware in Hertfordshire. Van Hage is more than just a Garden Centre; offering a treasure-trove of exciting and practical ideas for gardeners and home lovers. After a little time here we make the short journey to Ware Quay where we board our boat for the highlight of the tour. Your 3 hour cruise starts and finishes in the historic town of Ware and whilst onboard you will be served your delicious fish & chip lunch with tea & coffee and all the traditional condiments.
