Picture Perfect Peaks & Tramway Treats Weekend

This captivating 4-day coach holiday promises a perfect blend of picturesque landscapes, historical treasures, and delightful tramway experiences.

Your base is the welcoming Holiday Inn Hotel South Normanton, strategically situated for exploring the heart of England. Take a step back in time in beautiful Derbyshire, exploring the very best the area and its heritage has to offer. From historic Lichfield to the scenic wonders of the Peak District and the nostalgic Crich Tramway Village, this tour captures the essence of England’s diverse landscapes and cultural gems.

Embark on a scenic drive through the breathtaking Peak District. Marvel at the Victorian thermal spa town of Buxton and savour the charm and quaint streets of Bakewell, home of the famous Bakewell Pudding.

Discover Crich Tramway Village, home of the National Tramway Museum situated in the heart of the Derbyshire countryside. Vintage trams transport you along the traditional village street into open countryside with breath-taking views of the Derwent Valley. Also spend some time in Matlock Bath which is set in the beautiful gorge of the River Derwent, and has been a popular tourist destination since the 17th Century when the spa waters were discovered.

We kick off your long weekend with a visit to Lichfield, where history and charm intertwine. It is renowned for its stunning three-spired medieval cathedral, vibrant Georgian architecture, and rich cultural heritage, all set amidst picturesque parks and bustling markets. On our final day, we also include a visit to Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon for some extra shopping and sightseeing. This is a fabulous, action-packed weekend!

An ideal choice for:

* Fans of beautiful scenery combined with historic towns
* Those looking for a weekend showcasing some of the best of the region
* People looking for something a bit different to the usual Peak District experience
