An exhilarating cycle along the full length of the Via Francigena from the St Bernard Pass on the Swiss border to the Eternal City of Rome. The Via Francigena is far more than just a pilgrim trail. Those with more time can discover the full route, cycling this exhilarating and moderately graded bike ride from the Alps to the Eternal City of Rome. Starting from the Great St Bernard Pass on the Swiss-Italian border, you will discover a huge array of spectacular scenery and impressive towns. The route will take you through the vast and fertile Po River plain, across the fast flowing Dorea Baltea river, through stone walled country lanes as you exit the Aosta Valley, over the hills and vineyards of Tuscany, through beautiful Umbrian countryside, down to Lake Bolsena, and finally along ancient Etruscan roads to the impressive city of Rome and St. Peter’s Square. You will discover historic and culturally rich towns of Vercelli, Pavia, Parma, Lucca, San Gimignano, Siena, Viterbo and Sutri, just to name a few. On the way, take time out of your cycle day to visit imposing castles, churches, roman ruins, hilltop towns and vineyards. A trip to Italy would not be complete without delighting in the local food, and this trip does not disappoint. You will eat and drink your way through the best of northern Italian cuisine, visit the gastronomic heaven of Parma in Emilia Romagna, sample the wines and olive oils of Tuscany and indulge in cheese produced in the zones of the cacio di Pienza.

We had an amazing trip touring the Algarve region of Portugal. Everything was organised superbly. We have plans to do more in the future and will definitely go with them again.
The Pub Crawl! So named in the finest English tradition because in the old days and indeed not-so-old days, pub drinkers would stop off for a drink at as many pubs until they were crawling between venues. Whilst we won’t be this extreme, this traditional pub walk will visit some of the finest old pubs in London. Each one with a very different atmosphere and history, but all sharing a fine offering of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in a wonderful historic building.
From the fringes of the East End, we will visit pubs in Clerkenwell and Farringdon before visiting some truly historic pubs in Holborn and Lincoln’s Inn Fields.
Pubs we visit include:
Viaduct Tavern: Recognised as one of the best historical pubs, this pub is built on the site of a former jail and still has five of the cells visible in the basement. Better be on your best behaviour then, so drink up!
The Castle, Farringdon: This refreshingly down-to-earth Farringdon public house was once frequented by King George IV, who was tempted in by a spot of cockfighting. Happily, the only poultry you may come across here now is in the delicious food that is served up.
The Crown Tavern, Clerkenwell Green: The lounge of this pub was once a noted music hall, perhaps this is what made it Lenin’s favourite boozer. In 1905 he met with comrade Stalin here in a meeting room upstairs. Its classic interior features mean that these days it is more likely to be used in television and films, maybe you will remember where you first saw The Crown Tavern over a pint.
Ye Olde Mitre: Built in 1546, Ye Olde Mitre is famous for having a cherry tree, (now supporting the front) that Queen Elizabeth once danced around. Set in a part of London steeped in history, it’s near where William Wallace was hung, drawn, and quartered at Smithfield.
The Seven Stars: Dating from around 1602, The Seven Stars backs on to the law courts and is a favourite haunt of lawyers, Church of England music directors and choir singers. It’s a cozy little pub inside with a quirky atmosphere along with a fine selection of drinks.
Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese: Situated near Lincoln’s Inn Fields and Holborn, this wonderful old pub proudly declares that it was rebuilt in 1667 following The Great Fire of London. Known to be the regular drinking spot of such names as Charles Dickens, Dr. Johnson, Mark Twain, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Alfred Tennyson and P.G. Wodehouse then this might be just the pub to have a wee dram in whilst concocting your next best-selling novel.
*Please note that not every pub listed is guaranteed to be open, in which case we will try and find a good alternative*
Walking the Cleveland Way was a wonderful experience. The variety of countryside, moorland and coast, makes it extra special. The accommodation along the way was high quality with friendly hosts, and the luggage service worked like a dream. We met so many lovely walkers along the way and often dined with them in the evenings. It was such a
special trip.
