Check out the video with my York Food Festival tour and take a close look at what I’ve added to my RHS Wisley Flower Show tour and what’s on offer for your favourite tearoom owner.
My Britain Insider column should fire your imagination as will Waddesdon Uncorked. My final story brings maritime history to life at HMS Warrior, one of many top attractions within Portsmouth’s Historic Dockyard. |

Tea Rooms and Treasure Houses |
|
Think of your favourite local tearoom and then talk to the owner about a September tour to the Cotswolds and London for 6-8 of their best customers. As they probably watch Masterpiece, they’ll enjoy the day that includes locations used in the filming of Father Brown. Travelling before 8th September, we could include Downton Abbey. |
