Itinerary

Day 1. Saturday We depart and travel to Froghall Station with an included journey on the Churnet Valley Railway. Let the Churnet Valley Railway return you to a more leisurely and relaxing era when you dine in style in one of their period restaurant cars, as the beautiful Churnet Valley countryside slips by your window. Enjoy a selection of traditional scones and cakes whilst delighting in the vintage ambience on board the restored dining train with this quintessentially British treat, hosted by a dedicated team of train volunteers. We depart later this afternoon for the journey to Telford and the Mercure Telford. This evening enjoy a three-course evening meal.

Day 2. Sunday We depart after breakfast and travel home via Shrewsbury. Tucked in a loop of the River Severn near the Welsh border, this medieval market town is famous for its cobbled streets and Tudor centre. The town itself is a wonderful mixture of old and new. The picturesque black and white timber-framed buildings, historic landmarks and ancient town walls sit side by side with modern architecture. We depart later this afternoon to make our journey home.

Excursion days are subject to change and will be confirmed with your final travel documents.
