Meals
10 Breakfast (B) 3 Dinner with Wine (DW) York: In the evening, enjoy a Welcome Dinner and the chance to get to know your fellow travellers. Cornwall: John and Anne welcome you to historic Heskyn Mill for a farm-to-table dinner. Savour a delightful meal, with all ingredients responsibly sourced from local producers or carefully foraged from the local area to reduce waste. The farms ethos is to support local and reduce food waste. All food is sourced locally, even though this proves more expensive. A staff member grows seasonal vegetables and they have their own egg laying hens. They have relationships with the local farmers where they make sure to get the food that would otherwise struggle to be sold in order to reduce waste. Vegetables are chosen seasonally and are often picked in the morning for their guests to enjoy later the same day. Heskyn Mill Farm advances UN Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible Consumption & Production.

Jedburgh: See the impressive 12th century Jedburgh Abbey, dominating the centre of town. Even though it is now in ruins it is still a magnificent structure and you can climb a spiral staircase to view the spectacular architecture from a balcony. Built by King David I of Scotland for Augustinian monks, Jedburgh is one of four major Abbeys of the Borders between England and Scotland, and was damaged and rebuilt several times during the Wars of Independence in the late 13th and early 14th centuries.

For a limited time in August, witness the incredible spectacle of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Glasgow: See the grand public buildings, including George Square and St. Mungo's Cathedral. Stirling: Travel via the historic site of Bannockburn and view Stirling Castle. Grasmere: Learn about the life of the poet William Wordsworth and visit his grave.
