ALTERNATIVE HALF TERM IDEAS

Half term already? It can’t be. Not all of us can afford to go ski-ing this year, so how about some day trips out in the UK which might be fun for the family and won’t break the budget….

Alternative London Sight-Seeing – What better way to bring history alive in half term, than with Simon on his silvercane tours of the capital. His vivid tours take you through the scenes of politicians, murderers and scientists and he brings the past alive as he walks. All tours can be totally bespoke, giving you a truly unique experience. Prices start from £90

Rail & Cycling Trips in the North West – Enjoy a ride on the famous Settle Carlisle Railway to its most famous landmark, Ribblehead Viaduct, where your guide will be waiting at the station with  bikes and everything you need for your trip.
