Our 2024 annual holiday was  28 May to 1 June 2024. A Trip to Lancashire.

"Lancashire is a rich and varied county with so much to see and do - from the vast green expanses of countryside and winding canals to the stately homes, gardens and museums all steeped in history. Whether we are chugging along on a steam train and enjoying the views, cruising over the Lune Aqueduct and marvelling at its architecture, or enjoying some retail therapy at an award-winning shopping centre, our tour offers a variety of activities for all to enjoy as we discover everything Lancashire has to offer."
