Upon arrival in Holyhead, you’ll re-join your coach and continue the scenic journey towards your hotel near Stratford-Upon-Avon. A comfort stop will be made along the way before arriving at your hotel in the late afternoon. After check-in, take some time to relax and freshen up before enjoying your evening meal at the hotel.

Day 2: Cheltenham & Broadway After breakfast (departure time will be confirmed by your tour manager), set off for the elegant Regency Spa town of Cheltenham, where you’ll have time to explore, shop, and soak up the refined atmosphere. In the afternoon, board a charming steam train from the historic Cheltenham Racecourse, and enjoy a nostalgic journey through rolling countryside, passing quaint hamlets, ancient woodlands, and graceful stone bridges. Later, visit the picture-perfect village of Broadway, often called the jewel of the Cotswolds, where you’ll have time to wander its charming streets and take in its timeless beauty. In the late afternoon, we’ll depart Broadway (departure time to be confirmed by your tour manager) and return to the hotel for a relaxing evening.
