England Beach Trips

One of the best experiences my mom and I will ever have in our lives! We enjoyed it thoroughly, from our hotel stays to the beautiful scenery and excursions we went on. Our travel director, Gary, was the absolute best and made our holiday so much more special! We appreciate Trafalgar and can’t wait to go on our next trip!

It is a very full itinerary with wonderful places and very interesting stops along the way. It covers so much all packed into interesting and entertaining places and people alike I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our tour guide was excellent, he was very organised, informative, helpful kind and knowledgeable. The bus driver were also excellent, how they manoeuvred through some of those streets was amazing.

Our tour was absolutely fantastic and our tour manager, Gail, was great with our entire group of 25 from WPSU Public Television in Pennsylvania. Most of the accommodations were fabulous and the local tour guides were also excellent. Larry, Lyndon, and Mark were all area experts that really know their history. I especially loved touring the moors with Mark and learning about the history of standing stones and lay lines. My only suggestion would be staying 3 days at each location instead of just two, especially at Bovey Castle, which was really lovely but we didn't have time to explore the grounds or do any of the excursions they offer. All in all it was a wonderful trip!

Tour highlights included our stay at Bovey Castle; the time spent at Chavenage and the meals provided. A stop which could have been eliminated was to Castle Combe; too long for the time spent walking back-and-forth to the site for the 10 minutes or so that we were allowed there.

All accommodations were excellent! The busses are no longer allowed to enter the village of Castle Combe which made it necessary to walk a steep hill . This was difficult for some of the people for what ended up being a 10 minute visit of the village.

If you love history and the country side this is the trip for you. I loved seeing the castle where Poldark is filmed and other places where movies were filmed. The country side reminds me so much of the Azores where my ancestors are from, it brought back a lot of memories
