Tutankhamun: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh is an exhibition in celebration of the 100 year anniversary of the tombs discovery. The boy king’s priceless tomb artefacts will visit London one final time. This is whilst a new permanent resting place is constructed at the Grand Museum in Cairo.

A coast of contrasts Ilfracombe is a stunning coastal town with white washed houses, grand Victorian villas and terraces. Nestling between the National Park of Exmoor to the East and the golden coast to the West. A resort that also has a contemporary edge from its top class restaurants and galleries, to its theatre.

Little villages, lush green meadows, rich farmlands and sandy heathlands depicted by the famous painters Constable and Gainsborough. We visit historic Bury St Edmunds, with its Dickens connections, and the delightful East Anglian countryside and peaceful coastline. All this combines to give a holiday of particular charm and nostalgia.

A restful alternative to fast-paced adventures, follow the serene hills and valleys between the downs of the south as they ripple between the winding nostalgia of the Bluebell Railway. As well as exploring the historic and picturesque local towns there is also a ride on the Bluebell Railway and visits to two gardens.

The Norfolk and East Anglia coast is starkly beautiful, with picture postcard fishing villages and much more, creating an idyll of rural charm. As a contrast we feature the lovely Cathedral city of Norwich, and the Norfolk Broads.

This tour takes us to enjoy the pleasures of the Hampshire and its quaint towns and a day in Winchester, Portsmouth and a relaxing visit to the gorgeous gardens at Exbury on the edge of the New Forest.

Enjoying an unseasonable amount of warmth and sunshine, more than half the Isle of Wight has been designated an Area of Outstanding Beauty, with fifty per cent of its coastline honoured by the title 'Heritage Coast', an award only given to the finest beaches in the country.

Set between two rugged headlands with miles of golden beach, Paington nestles snugly between its two neighbours - Torquay and Brixham. Its colourful image is enhanced by a marine gardens promenade, pier and harbour which are brought to life at nightfall by seafront illuminations. Paignton boasts good shopping facilities, a theatre, together with a host of seaside attractions. Its beaches are without doubt the best in the bay.

Tenby is one of the prettiest resorts on Wales, unspoilt by commercialism and retains its natural seaside charm, especially along narrow cobbled streets lined with shops, cafes and restaurants are also reminders of this bygone age.
