elcome to our Programme of Coach Excursions for the Spring and Summer 2016. We hope you will enjoy reading through the varied selection of trips that have been carefully planned for this season and that you will want to book some days out with us soon. The Roadmark team have been working hard to produce an innovative programme featuring new and unusual destinations, whilst repeating trips that we know are traditional favourites with our customers. This year celebrates the 90th birthday of Her Majesty The Queen and we have arranged visits to Buckingham Palace, which includes a special exhibition ‘Fashioning a Reign’, and also a trip to the royal retreat of Sandringham in Norfolk. We have also catered for the many of you interested in visiting stately homes and gardens, including many National Trust properties, and you will find cruises on the River Thames and other beautiful waterways together with railway journeys and lunches and cream tea excursions. Coach travel is a friendly and companionable way to see places and meet friends old and new. It is also environmentally acceptable and our modern, luxury coaches have low emissions and are equipped with the latest safety features. On some longer trips complimentary hot drinks are served and both our coaches have toilet facilities. We endeavour to provide as much choice as possible when planning our trips so as to cater for a wide range of interests. Many people enjoy simply looking at the scenery from a comfortable seat high in the coach and there is a selection of countryside tours and mystery drives. We also include some continental day trips to Bruges and Le Touquet. We believe our excursions represent excellent value for money and our team of professional drivers look forward to welcoming you on board very soon.

A former priory in the village of Lode, about 5 miles north-east of Cambridge, Anglesey Abbey is a Jacobean-style house set in 98 acres of landscaped grounds. After falling into disrepair the house was bought by the future Lord Fairhaven in the 1920s who then went about transforming the property into his first home. Wanting to inspire and surprise visitors, he created a spectacular garden with planting for all seasons and a cosy house in which to entertain. Life revolved around horse racing and shooting, and guests enjoyed 1930s luxury. In the grounds you can see the Lode Mill, restored in 1982 and still producing flour. You can purchase lunch in the Redwoods Restaurant.

The story is brought to life in rare archive films, stories of ex-railway workers, hands-on displays, famous locomotives and GWR memorabilia. Many of the staff are themselves former railway employees. Alternatively you may wish to visit McArthur Glen Shopping Outlet at a cost of £21.00

THE TOWER OF LONDON

Join a Yeoman Warder Tour and be entertained by tales from the Tower - pain and passion, treachery and torture, all delivered with a swagger and a smile ! The Crown Jewels, which are part of the Royal Collection, are displayed to millions of visitors every year, in the Tower of London. The Jewel House at the Tower has been used for the secure storage of the precious ceremonial objects, commonly known as the ‘Crown Jewels’, since the early 14th century, when Westminster Abbey (the alternative store) was found to be unsafe. Although attempts have been made to steal the Crown Jewels from the Tower, notably by Colonel Blood in 1671, none have succeeded. The present display of the Crown Jewels was opened by Her Majesty The Queen in 1994. There are a number of places to find refreshments in the Tower itself or in the surrounding area. Due to the nature of the building this excursion is unsuitable for people with mobility problems.
