Welcome |
|
In June 2021, you could be using the annual RHS Chatsworth flower show as the star attraction for a UK tour. The likely dates are 10th- 13th June and this week, I’ve highlighted two itineraries for you to consider. One links together England, North Wales and Ireland as a three-country travel experience while the second one combines RHS Chatsworth with some outstanding Yorkshire gardens.
Elsewhere, York is the base for a Cookery School/Gourmet tour, Yorkie’s third exciting adventure and a closer look at Castle Howard.
Watch for news of Virgin Atlantic’s non-stop flights to Manchester.
