Day 1: Following your home taxi collection we join our luxury executive tour coach and head north to Morecambe, arriving late afternoon at the Best Western Lothersdale Hotel for our 4 night stay on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis. Tea/coffee will be offered on arrival while your cases are taken to your room.
Day 2: Today’s excursion takes us around Morecambe Bay to Grange-over-Sands with a chance to look around. Grange-over-Sands is an elegant town, with strong reminders of its heyday as a fashionable seaside resort in the 19th century – all thanks to the balmy influence of the Gulf Stream and the arrival of the railroad in the 1850s. Grange’s Victorian and Edwardian elegance is still very much in evidence today, in its ornamental gardens, attractive shopping arcades and its long seafront promenade. From here we make our way to the magnificent Holker Hall and Gardens. This private residence is the much-loved home of the Cavendish family, and has been in the family since it was built in the early 1600’s. You can tour the house without the restriction of ropes and barriers, and see the distinguished library, elegant drawing room, and ornate dining room. Climb the striking staircase and you can view portraits of Charles II, and Catherine of Braganza. You can visit the bedroom where Queen Mary stayed in 1937. The award-winning gardens display a wonderful collection of trees, shrubs and flowers, and offer inspiration throughout the year. This afternoon we visit the Lakeland Motor Museum, housing some 30,000 exhibits including cars, bikes, tractors and all kinds of memorabilia.
Day 3: Travelling through the scenic Lune Valley, we head for the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park. We climb into the Pennines past the famous viaduct at Ribblehead. We continue across the moors to the market town of Hawes, home to Wensleydale Creamery and producer of Yorkshire’s famous cheese. We return via Sedbergh and Kirkby Lonsdale to Morecambe where you can spend the rest of this afternoon at leisure.
Day 4: Today we have a free day to discover Morecambe.
Day 5: Sadly this morning we depart our hotel and head back to Norfolk making suitable stops en-route. Upon our arrival our taxi service will be waiting to take you home.
