Day 1 to day 2

Day 1: From a morning pickup in your local area we travel by coach to Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon, a beautiful town of timbered buildings and theatres. Fans of Shakespeare can visit the house in which he was born, and there’s a chance to wander the picturesque riverside gardens. Later we rejoin the coach for our journey to the hotel, arriving in time for dinner and our relaxing overnight stay.

Day 2: After breakfast, we head to Blenheim Palace by coach. This impressive Baroque masterpiece provides the perfect backdrop for its annual flower show. There’s a Grand Floral Pavilion showcasing the UK’s finest nurseries and exhibitors, a Floral Street, Show Gardens, a Shopping Village with a variety of trade stalls selling hundreds of products, a Home and Country Living Pavilion filled with original giftware and luxury goods plus a Food and Drink Pavilion offering a fiesta of catering options and artisanal goods, including samples and tastings. The show is the perfect place to listen to horticultural experts and admire the best of British gardening. After an inspirational day at Blenheim, we rejoin the coach in the late afternoon for the journey home.
