Itinerary

Day 1     London - Liverpool
Greetings from your Tour Director as we travel northwards from London into Staffordshire, known as the Potteries, where we visit the Wedgwood Pottery Centre. Later we arrive in the medieval city of Chester where we will see the ancient city walls and the 13th century black and white galleried ‘Rows’, which are shopping arcades today. Then we continue to our hotel for a Welcome Drink and dinner. (Dinner)                     Hotel: Jurys Inn
Day 2      Liverpool - Edinburgh
This morning we drive through the Lake District to Grasmere where the poet William Wordsworth is buried in the village churchyard. Then we drive along the shores of Lake Windermere through scenery reminiscent of Wordsworth’s magical poetry. Later we arrive at the Scottish border at Gretna Green, where traditionally young couples would elope against their parents’ wishes in order to marry in a ceremony performed across the blacksmith’s anvil. Soon we reach the capital, Edinburgh, and our hotel. (Full breakfast)            Hotel: Holiday Inn North

Then we visit the New Town with its beautiful Georgian architecture, see the new Scottish Parliament buildings and enjoy a guided visit of the apartments inside Edinburgh Castle. Later we head south crossing the borderlands, and see the ruins of Jedburgh Abbey. Then we drive through the Northumberland National Park to see remnants of Hadrian’s Wall before we arrive in our hotel, where we enjoy a Farewell Dinner tonight. (Full breakfast / Farewell Dinner)               Hotel: Blackwell Grange
