Wednesday

Open the pages of the greatest mid-19th century love story as you join a museum curator for a specialist talk at
the Bowes Museum – a hidden treasure, in the very English countryside of Co. Durham, yet in a building more fitting to a
neo-classical French City. Founded by the passionate John & Joséphine Bowes and their shared love of art, this world-class

exhibit and paintings by Goya and El Greco. In the afternoon we visit the market town of Barnard Castle, located on the north
bank of the River Tees.

Site, is nestled in the picturesque Lake District along the banks of the River Eamont. Dating back to the Saxon era, the mansion
showcases exquisite furniture by Robert Gillow and Thomas Chippendale, and boasts a museum featuring one of the earliest
examples of mid-18th century hand-painted Chinese wallpaper. The formal gardens, adorned with over 200 roses, apple trees,
and the UK's widest silver fir tree, have previously won the “Historic Houses Garden of the Year Award” and has been named
among the top 10 gardens in Northern
Britain.

Friday

Departing after breakfast we enjoy a scenic drive through the glorious Yorkshire Dales to the historic town of Settle before returning home in the late afternoon.
