Springtime In Kelso & The Scottish Borders
Staying at The Cross Keys Hotel, Kelso
5 DAYS | 6th April 2026
We head north to the beautiful Border region of Scotland for its Springtime countryside of emerald hills and lush landscapes. The wildflowers carpet the fields and coastline, daffodils are still in bloom and often you can see newborn lambs and calves in the fields. The Borders’ rich history means there’s a superb selection of magnificent abbey ruins, ancient castles, grand country houses and bountiful gardens to visit, and spring is often the best time of year to do so. This is Sir Walter Scott’s adopted region and he often drew on its landscapes and history as inspiration for his poetry and novels. During our tour we visit Abbotsford, Sir Walter Scott’s home, together with a excellent selection of historic towns, gardens and stunning coastline.

The Isles of Scilly
Staying at The Bell Rock Hotel, St. Mary’s
7 DAYS | 16th April 2026
Just 28 miles off the southwest tip of Britain lies the small, beautiful archipelago of the Isles of Scilly. A charismatic destination with unique charm and warmth there is mile after mile of white sandy beaches, acres of natural landscape to explore, and a rich and fascinating history. The skies seem bigger here, the horizons further away, and the landscape broader. It all feels quite intimate and old fashioned, it is as if you’ve stumbled upon an idyllic film set from a bygone era. Let the concerns of everyday life drift away on the falling tide. This is the stuff that holiday memories are made of: beautiful surroundings, a gentler pace of life, quiet conversation and nature’s soundtrack.
