TOURING BY COACH IN BRITAIN

Sit back, relax, and watch the British countryside roll by, through big picture windows. There is an incredible variety of tours available, ranging from a one-day trip into London's coun­tryside, to comprehensive touring holidays of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

If you don't want to be tried to a schedule throughout your stay, why not book a mini-tour to complement your indepen­dent sightseeing. These last from two to five days (one to four nights) and are run by many of the big coach companies.

Even shorter, are the one-day tours which go from London to popular places of interest such as Stratford-upon-Avon,the Cotswold Hills, Oxfordand Windsor.Day tours also depart from other major towns to local historic and scenic attractions.

These comprehensive tours are an ideal way of seeing a lot of Britain, visiting stately homes, cathedrals, historic cities and scenic National Parks. Everything is arranged for you — accom­modation in good, normally centrally located hotels, breakfasts and dinners, and many admission charges are included in the cost of your tour.

Choose a four-day tour form London,visiting York, Edin­burgh,the Lake Districtand Stratford-upon-Avon,or a spectac­ular 10-day Grand Tour of Britain, travelling from London in the south, across to Wales, and northwards as far as Grantown-on-Speyat the heart of Scotland's whisky distilling area, taking in historic places in between. Or a seven-day exploration of Scotland, visiting Edinburgh, St. Andrews(the home of golf), the Trossachs and the beautiful coastal, mountain and lakeland scenery of the Highlands, including the Isle of Skye.These are just three examples.

Whatever tour you take, rest assured that British coaches are modern, comfortable and operated by an experienced, qualified driver/courier. Hotels are carefully selected, and very often you will find a private bathroom attached to your room. Ask the Brit­ish Travel Centre in London, for details on coach operators and tours.
