Tuesday 8th: Morning pick up as we head north to St Anne’s via Southport, noted for its sandy beaches and many golf courses. Its elegant town centre provides an array of shops to browse. After time for lunch we continue our journey to St Annes’s on Sea and check-in at the Inn on the Prom. On arrival tea, coffee and cake will be served.
Wednesday 9th: Today we travel a little further north along the coast to Blackpool where you will have the whole day to explore some of its wonderful attractions. You may wish to take a tram ride, or perhaps visit the famous tower to sit in the ballroom and listen, or dance to some of the wonderful organ music before riding the lift to the tower’s top to take in the spectacular views. There are also the shops and numerous cafe’s and restaurants.
Thursday 10th: Our tour of the Lake District begins as we travel firstly to the pretty village of Grasmere with time if you wish to visit Wordsworth’s museum and also Dove Cottage, his home from 1799 to 1808, the years of his supreme work as a poet. We continue to Bowness, the ‘heart’ of the Lake District, and a town with every sort of shop you can imagine as well as many cafe’s and restaurants. Whilst here you may like to take a cruise on Lake Windermere or visit the nearby World of Beatrix Potter in which all 23 tales are brought to life in a magical indoor recreation of the Lakeland countryside.
Friday 11th: This morning is free to explore St Annes on Sea before we return home early afternoon.
