justRETURNED HIGHLIGHTS OF BRITAIN <strong>Mature</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> readers share their reviews of recent vacations A CONVERSATION WITH BILLIE J. LINDSEY This trip delivered so much more than Billie ever expected 6 WWW.MATURE.TRAVEL
matureTRAVEL WHERE DID YOU GO? Starting in London, over 10 days, we visited Oxford, Stratford- Upon-Avon (home to William Shakespeare), the Cotswolds, Wales and Snowdonia National Park, Chester, York, Castle Howard, the Lake District, Hadrian’s Wall, Abbotsford House (home of Sir Walter Scott) and Rosslyn Chapel, with many charming stops in between. WITH WHICH COMPANY? Back-Roads Touring, which recently changed its name in the US to Blue-Roads Touring. HOW LONG DID YOU RESEARCH THE HOLIDAY AND HOW DID YOU DO IT? Following a trip to Scotland in 2016, I explored different tour companies’ itineraries (and costs) using the internet. I chose this trip as it covered several destinations I wanted to visit. The main attraction was traveling on back roads and not highways, which is the best way to see the countryside and visit small villages. WHAT WAS YOUR BEST RESOURCE? The world wide web! WHAT MADE UP YOUR MIND TO GO THERE AND NOT SOMEWHERE ELSE? I was interested in touring northern England and Wales and wanted to spend most of the time in the countryside with a smaller size group. WHAT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT? CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: Durham Cathedral; Billie in Snowdonia National Park, Wales; the time capsule that is Chester, England. There were many highlights but I particularly loved the Cotswolds with the charming honey-limestone villages, beautiful stone wall pastures and the Cotswold sheep. I also spent time with thespians who were reciting Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets in Stratford- Upon-Avon.The Lake District, with visits to Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top Farm and William Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage, was marvelous. We also had outstanding guided tours of Oxford and Worcester Cathedral. Being able to travel in a small coach on the “back roads,” plus the variety of things we experienced from incredible landscapes, World Heritage sites, cathedrals, small villages, and historical homes made this simply, a trip of a lifetime! WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THE COMPANY YOU TOURED WITH AND WHY? Absolutely! Being a smallgroup tour of no more than 18 passengers, traveling back roads with a knowledgeable tour guide and dedicated driver and with an itinerary that encompasses the beauty and the history of the UK, made this trip ideal. DO YOU THINK YOU GOT VALUE FOR MONEY? Yes. For around $320 per day per person, it included all transport, accommodation, some meals, and >> SUBSCRIBE
