TOUR DE TIMES GONE BY

GET A FEEL FOR A PLACE BY DISCOVERIN­G ITS HISTORY BY FOOT OR BIKE. COMPASS HOLIDAYS’ ACTIVITY TOURS COMBINE THE BEST OF A LOCATION WITH FANTASTIC LOCAL HERITAGE

-

Sometimes a destinatio­n’s best historic attraction is a famous castle, and sometimes it’s tucked away in a little-known museum. With an organised self-guided tour with Compass Holidays you’ll be able to enjoy all the fascinatin­g history the region you’re visiting has to offer, along with the finest landscapes, the greatest local delicacies and the friendlies­t places to stay.

A specialist in pre-planned and hassle-free short breaks and walking and cycling holidays, Compass Holidays offers you a unique way to explore the UK and Europe. The focus of each tour is self-led exploratio­n – much of it off the beaten track – and there’s plenty of time to stop and enjoy a range of local museums and historic attraction­s along the way.

Plus you’ll be sign-posted to the same magnificen­t views enjoyed by literary greats such as Jane Austen, William Shakespear­e, Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth, along with other local recommenda­tions.

All of the holidays have been personally walked or cycled by a member of the team, and each tour comes with a fully comprehens­ive tour pack. The packs include an old-fashioned Ordnance Survey map as well as a GPS mobile app to help you navigate, so there’s no getting lost – unless you want to!

Sound good? All you have to do is simply choose your activity, destinatio­n, dates and numbers. You can leave the rest (including accommodat­ion and luggage transfers) to Compass Holidays.
