Outdoors Lover's Paradise... A Luxury Tour of the UK's Lakes, Lochs and Brochs
10 days from £2,670 / $4,272 per person
The British Isles have a great deal to offer those who relish the outdoors. This ten day tour will take you to some of Britain's most scenic spots - from the Lake District to the Scottish Highlands, stopping on the way in Stratford-upon-Avon, Edinburgh and St Andrews. Your first few days in London will allow you to see the capital's main sites and enjoy a private tour of London's eight historic Royal Parks. While in London, stay at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, which is just seconds from Hyde Park's 350 acres of green space. Move on to the Lake District to enjoy several days at leisure where you'll have the opportunity to walk, horse-ride or kayak to your heart's content. Once in Scotland, split your time between the Royal city of Edinburgh and the romantic Scottish Highlands. Inverlochy Castle, situated in the foothills of Ben Nevis, is the perfect place to try your hand at a range of country pursuits and it has a fantastic Michelin-starred restaurant. This tour includes luxury vehicles for all transfers and private Blue Badge guides or equivalent for sightseeing tours.
