Britain And Ireland Delight
You’ll cross England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland, tracing a path through carved stone, castle walls and old city streets. Follow Edinburgh’s Royal Mile past narrow closes and weathered façades, then pass Dublin’s painted Georgian doors, each crowned with an elegant fanlight. In Waterford, you watch artisans cut crystal and hear the delicate ring of glass in their hands. Beyond the cities, the limestone hills and dry-stone walls of the Yorkshire Dales lead towards medieval cathedrals, ancient fortresses and castles fit for old Celtic tales. Across 10 days, each sound, texture and shared moment becomes part of a Britain and Ireland you’ll remember long after you return home.
