DAY ONE - Arrival

We depart from your home and travel to Cambridge with comfort stops en route, arriving late afternoon at the hotel with time to relax before dinner this evening.

 

DAY TWO – Newmarket Horseracing Centre and Ely

We begin today with a drive to Newmarket – Home of Horseracing. Here we visit the National Horseracing Centre and learn all about the history of ‘The Sport of Kings’ and perhaps visit the Packard Galleries of Sporting Art.

 

Later, we drive to the historic city of Ely, an ideal place for all interests and tastes, with a splendid array of medieval buildings and narrow streets. Ely is the perfect place to enjoy lunch or visit its main attraction - the magnificent Cathedral known as ‘The Ship of the Fens’.

 

DAY THREE – Cambridge and River Punt with Strawberries and Cream

This morning we journey to Cambridge where we board our chauffeured punt through the back waters of Cambridge. Our guide will not only gently steer the punt along the River Cam but will also ensure we see the highlights of Cambridge’s College buildings.

 

To complement this truly English setting, strawberries and cream will be served as you glide along the river. This is followed by free time for you to explore the wonderful city of Cambridge before we travel back to the hotel to relax before dinner.

 

DAY FOUR – St Albans and RAF Museum

After a leisurely breakfast, we travel south to visit the Roman city of St Albans. At the city’s historic core, you will find the stunning cathedral dating back to 1077 - well worth a visit. Today is also market day in St Albans. The market, dating back to the 9th century, runs the length of St Peters Street and offers excellent shopping.

 

This afternoon we travel to the RAF Museum in Hendon. With over 85 aircraft on site, this museum allows you to get up-close to many historic and ground-breaking aircraft and to learn more about their important roles.
