for a memorable day of sightseeing. First, a special visit to admire the
breathtaking ORNAMENTAL GARDENS of Henry VIII’s Hampton Court Palace. Your

Privy Garden, and the flower borders of the Great Fountain Garden. Then
westward to Salisbury with its magnificent cathedral, the ultimate in Early
English Gothic. Via the intriguing prehistoric monument of STONEHENGE head

Chester-Edinburgh, Scotland.
This morning’s walking tour includes the Roman remains, black and white

called the 'Rows.' Focus now on the tranquil Lake District, considered to
be the finest of England’s national parks. After a break in Wordsworth’s
beloved Grasmere, head north for the Scottish border. On the way through
the history-steeped Lowland Hills, stop at Gretna Green, where the
blacksmith used to wed runaway couples. Evening arrival in the Scottish
capital. For tour numbers 0802 through 0823 tickets are included for

through the richest farmland in Britain for a highlight visit to BELVOIR
CASTLE. The stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland houses one of
England’s finest private art collections. Finally pause in the market town
of Stamford before returning to London around 4 p.m. How about celebrating
