Just to be…er…clear, this tour doesn’t involve psychedelics or walking around with flowers in your hair (albeit it’s up to you!). This is a bespoke make it up as we go along sort of a day. You simply give me some details beforehand of the sort of thing you’d like to do and we can see where we end up. If you want to visit certain attractions – arts venues, music gigs, beautiful gardens, places of literary interest (the Bloomsbury Set and Rudyard Kipling had houses around here for example), fantastic country pubs, excellent restaurants, castles and other historical attractions, ancient churches, priories and abbeys, an eclectic mix of all sorts of things, whatever you fancy – I will need to know before the day so we can sort out any additional charges, but it’s quite possible to create a ‘skeleton’ of things you want to do and then spend most of the day putting flesh on the bones.

At its purist form you can just let me know what sorts of things you like to do and I can surprise you with an agenda when you arrive. It’s a high risk day of course, as if you don’t specifically choose what you want to do I may get it wrong (!), so you need to be aware of that when booking. One option, which can be fun, is to go to a surreal art house, visit a Bloomsbury Set house, have lunch in a fantastic country pub, stroll around a small ancient town with a castle and a brewery (what more could you possibly want?!), and partake of a wonderful traditional English afternoon tea, another option is to visit some of the most beautiful and grand gardens in the whole of England, another is, well, there are so very many magical and mysterious things to choose from…
