Celebrate English Tourism Week With A Holiday At Home

The tours of England offered by our award-winning company range from visits to some of the country’s most renowned flower shows and beautiful gardens, to the chance to explore historic homes and its artistic heritage. From the flagship tour of Highgrove & the Cotswolds to something a little more niche, such as Arts & Gardens in Cornwall – which includes time at Barbara Hepworth’s magnificent sculpture garden – there is something on everyone's doorstep.

On the island of Tresco, where there are no cars, pay an extensive visit to the glorious Abbey Gardens. With multiple departures throughout the year, there are many chances to experience these subtropical gardens, which are home to over 3,000 species. Make a pilgrimage to the iconic Chelsea Flower Show on a tour that also includes visits to Stourhead, Hestercombe and Sissinghurst. Discover the story of the great monarch Queen Victoria and follow in her footsteps on a holiday that will take guests to sites connected to her life, from the gorgeous Isle of Wight to busy London.
