Experience the very best of seductive southwest England on this expert-guided small group tour.

Begin amid the historic architecture of Bath, where Roman memories mingle with sweeping Georgian crescents. You will also tap into even older times at Stonehenge, before discovering some of the wonders of the often overlooked county of Somerset on a day-long private tour.

Continue westward by rail to explore coastal Devon, including a ride on one of the UK’s finest steam railways. Stay in a stunning castle hotel framed by the dramatic landscape of Dartmoor, before a visit to the ocean city of Plymouth, whose fascinating past ties take in people from Francis Drake to The Beatles. The last leg of your journey spotlights Cornwall, taking in bewitching landmarks including Land’s End, Mousehole and St Michael’s Mount from a base in the golden beach-fringed artists’ mecca of St Ives.

With a maximum of 15 passengers per group, you can be sure of highly personal service from your knowledgeable, local tour leader on this carefully-designed McKinlay Kidd small-group rail tour. Early booking is strongly advised as places are strictly limited.

Do not hesitate to let us know if we can assist with tailor-made arrangements for you pre or post this scheduled tour.
