TRAVEL EDITIONS TOURS

Villas and Gardens of the Côte D’Azur
30th March – 7th April 2025

Menton, where we stay on this tour, is virtually untouched by the glitz and gloss of nearby Monte Carlo. Always favoured by the English it enjoys one of the most benign climates on the coast. So benign that gardens like Serre de la Madone and the Hanbury Gardens at Ventemiglia are lush whenever we go. Of the Villas, that of Eileen Gray, E1027 is unique, whilst the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild is the epitome of fin de siècle France. Sumptuous gardens and splendid art collection.

Country Houses of Northamptonshire & Lincolnshire
8th-11th June 2025

This tour has been popular for a number of years, mainly because our guests have hurtled past the counties on the M1, without realising the treasures within their expansive unspoilt acres. Have you been to Burghley, one of the power-houses of Elizabethan England? Or to Grimsthorpe, with its collection of thrones? Deene was the home of the Earl of Cardigan, of Charge of the Light Brigade fame and Rockingham was originally built at the time of William the Conqueror.

Country Houses of Cheshire
13th-16th July 2025

Capesthorne Hall is much rebuilt but does have Jodrell Bank telescope at the bottom of the garden, whilst Tabley Hall, owned by Manchester University is by the under-rated Yorkshire architect John Carr and has a fine art collection. Erdigg (actually in Wales) is a gem, preserved by the National Trust, where nothing was ever thrown away, be it shoe-laces or farm machinery.

Country Houses of the Ribble Valley
17th – 20th August 2025

Centred on Pendle Hill. Many centuries of recusancy give this area a remoteness even today. We take you to 15th century Stonyhurst College and to Gawthorpe, a Tudor mansion, “modernised” by Sir Charles Barry of Houses of Parliament fame. Not to be forgotten is the Harris Art Gallery in industrial Preston, a monument to Victorian philanthropy.

Country Houses of East Yorkshire
7th – 10th September 2025

This tour was successfully operated for the first time in 2024,and was over-subscribed. A vast largely agricultural area with houses such as Sledmere, rebuilt after a disastrous fire in 1911 and Burton Agnes, a masterpiece by the Elizabethan Architect, Robert Smythson, all to be explored, along with the little-known treasures of the Ferens Art Gallery in Hull. Oh! and the Church at Garton-on-the-Wolds.

Country Houses of the Welsh Marches
15th – 18th September 2025

This tour taking in the verdant, unspoilt, countryside along the Welsh Borders includes not just country houses, such as Croft and Berrington, but a cider-making plant, the staggeringly beautiful Worcester Cathedral and the Royal Worcester Porcelain Museum.

Pearls of Antrim and Argyll
28th October-4th November 2025

Once again I am delighted to be asked to lecture on the unique Hebridean Princess. Those who have not sailed on this charming vessel have missed an experience unmatched in cruise history. A small ship with a maximum of 45 passengers, it is able to visit every nook and cranny inaccessible to larger ships. This voyage, mainly concerned with the great houses of the West Coast of Scotland, will take you to Mount Stuart, Brodick Castle, and far-famed Dumfries House. All filled to the gunwales with matchless treasures.

For your enquiries about Hebridean please see www.hebridean.co.uk and refer to the cruise directory.
