Overview

The real beauty of this tour is the efficient use it makes of your holiday/vacation time. On first inspection, it may appear quicker to take the train. While the train is a great option for some, by the time you have caught a taxi, hauled your luggage to the correct platform at the station, and done the same again at the other end, you have spent nearly a full day travelling, missing out on historic sites such as Hadrian’s Wall, Bamburgh Castle, the wild Scottish border country or the other wonderful sites and landscapes we travel through along the way.

What's Included

  • Private transportation
  • Non-alcoholic drinks onboard. Crisps, sweets and chocolates of the highest quality.
  • Highly experienced guide
  • Lunch

Northumberland

We then head into some of the wildest and most starkly beautiful terrain & landscape England has to offer, before arriving at Hadrian’s Wall, OR we may explore the wonderful Northumberland coastline and its tiny coastal villages and mighty castles or we can divert via the Lake District National Park. It's a private tour and I am happy to discuss the best options when I meet you on the morning of travel. The decision is primarily based on your preference and weather, there are often big differences in weather on the West and East coast sides of the United Kingdom that should always be factored in for the very best day together.

We also have the option of going to Vindolandia, Vindolandia is a deserted Roman Fortress town a couple of miles away from the wall. There is a small entry charge at Vindolandia of £9.25 for adults and £5.50 for children. This only is payed should you decide you wish to visit Vindolandia.
