Time to spoil Mum with a spring break
MUMS deserve the very best — so with Mother’s Day coming up on March 11, why not splash out and spoil yours rotten with a spring break?
Whether she likes culture, exploring the great outdoors or sampling fine cuisine, there’s sure to be one that’s perfect for her.
HOW about a coach holiday catch-up? Just Go! Holidays (justgoholidays.com) offers a range of cultural breaks including visits to historic properties, glorious gardens and exhibitions.
A look behind the scenes at Downton Abbey (alias Highclere Castle, near Newbury, Berks), later in March might be just up her street. Or give her the chance to see Terracotta Warriors up close on a two-day break to Liverpool. There’s a new exhibition of these Chinese treasures at its World Museum.
Meanwhile a new Mountain Goat Tour of the Lake District, using smaller vehicles to get off the beaten track, has been launched by Shearings (shearings.com).
A three-night break, staying half-board at four-star Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel, is available daily in April and May, an ideal time to enjoy the spring flowers and warmer weather.
