Day 3 London-Cambridge-York.
(Mon.) After a hearty English breakfast, meet your Tour

the stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland and film location for
The Da Vinci Code, which houses one of England’s finest private art
collections. In York follow your Tour Director on a walking tour through a
maze of quaint medieval streets, including the narrow Shambles. Stand in
awe in front of the great structure of York Minster, then explore its
treasures. Before dinner at your hotel in York join your Tour Director for
a toast to happy touring with a congenial group. (FB,D)
Day 4
York-Edinburgh, Scotland. (Tue.) First today inspect a
section of Hadrian’s Wall, the Roman coast-to-coast defense against
marauding northern tribes. Vistas of wild Northumberland National Park on
the way to the Scottish border, then Jedburgh Abbey ruins and glimpses of
the house of Mary, Queen of Scots before a fascinating guided visit to Sir
Walter Scott’s ABBOTSFORD HOUSE. Arrive later this afternoon in Edinburgh,
the elegant capital city. Tonight an optional Scottish evening with
Highland dancers, bagpipers, and the Ceremony of the Haggis. For tour
numbers 0806, 0813 and 0820 the optional Scottish evening is replaced with

Day 5 Edinburgh-Lake
District-Chester, England. (Wed.) Morning city sightseeing
with a Local Guide introduces you to the 200-year-old “New Town” and famous
scientists, inventors and novelists. In the “Old Town” drive up the narrow
Royal Mile to EDINBURGH CASTLE to admire Scotland’s Crown Jewels. On the
way through the history steeped Lowland Hills, visit Gretna Green, where
the blacksmith used to wed runaway couples. In the tranquil Lake District,
often considered the finest of England’s national parks, take a break in
Wordsworth’s beloved Grasmere. Later, on your walking tour in the walled
city of Chester see the Roman remains, the black and white half-timbered
buildings, and the two tiered arcades called the “Rows”. (FB,D)
Day 6
Chester-Stratford-London. (Thu.) A memorable last day: at
the WEDGWOOD FACTORY learn the story of the world-renowned china and its
production processes with an opportunity to shop for Wedgwood gifts; in
Stratford-upon-Avon take your photos of Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, visit
SHAKESPEARE’S BIRTHPLACE, and stroll through the picturesque town. Skirting
the Cotswold Hills, return to London around 4 p.m. How about celebrating
the success of your tour by taking in a West End tonight? (FB)
