A tour featuring some of the many delights of Staffordshire, including a historic stately home, delightful gardens and two preserved and restored railways.
We depart from your home and commence your holiday with our home pick-up service, join your coach and travel to Staffordshire with comfort stops enroute. Arriving at your hotel mid-afternoon, tea/coffee & biscuits await you whilst your luggage is taken to your room, time to relax before dinner.
We start the day with a drive to the city of Lichfield, here there is much to see and do, particularly the stunning Lichfield Cathedral set in a remarkable and serene close. Over 800 years old the building is the third on the site and is well worth a visit. Chance to obtain lunch and explore the city before our afternoon visit to the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas.
Our first visit today takes us to the National Trust owned Little Moreton Hall near Congleton, the Hall is surrounded by a moat and set in a pretty garden and has had a chequered history. In danger of falling over, it is as intriguing as it is wonky! A rare chapel and topsy-turvy long gallery and early wallpaper ensure the wow factor at this iconic Tudor treasure. This afternoon we visit Rudyard Lake where we enjoy a 3 mile return ride on the miniature railway alongside the lake before returning to our hotel.
This morning we begin with a visit to the award winning Trentham Gardens, enjoy a visit to the shopping village with its shops, cafes & restaurants and the vast Trentham Garden Centre. Free time to explore and obtain lunch before we head for Blyth Bridge and the Foxfield Light Railway. Originally used to carry coal from Foxfield Colliery, closed in 1965, the line is now very popular for steam trips into the countryside to Dilhorn Park.
This morning after a leisurely breakfast we depart for our homeward journey with comfort breaks enroute.
