In our fast paced world, finding moments of peace and clarity can be challenging.  Yet, one of the most effective ways too achieve mental calm and improve well-being is to spend time in nature.  Here's why headspace and wellbeing thrive in the natural world.

The nature of our national parks offers a sanctuary away from the constant demands and distractions of modern life.  The simple act of being surrounded by greenery, listening to birdsong, or walking along an ancient footpath can significantly reduce stress levels.  When you're outside, free from the clutter of everyday life, your mind has the chance to wander and reset.  This headspace is crucial for mental clarity and creativity.

This is the first in a series of posts, in which we're going to be looking in greater detail at all of our specific and varied tour options.  Where better to start than with with one of our most popular tours?  Grab your bonnet or your top hat - we're heading to Pemberley...

"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me:  I am a free human being with an independent will."  So wrote Charlotte Bronte in Jane Eyre.

The shadow of the Bronte sisters loom large over the picturesque, steep, cobbled streets of Haworth.  Not a shadow of an ominous nature, but more of the extraordinary story of the three sisters who absorbed these atmospheric surroundings and, so inspired, produced some of the most celebrated and important literary works ever completed.

What do you call a combination of the Lake District and the Peak District?  The Leaks?  Hmmm...  Anyway, our latest tour is designed for those staying in the Peak District, Manchester, Sheffield area but who want to experience the splendour of the Lake District.  Pick up and drop off at your accommodation is included and we whisk you up to the Lakes for a day of spectacular scenery and amazing views, with little or no walking required.

We're very excited to announce that our latest tour, On Top Of The World, has been selected to be part of the National Park Experiences, alongside one of our previous tours, The Plague Village & The Peaks.

These are, indeed, strange times we find ourselves in!  The global tourism and leisure travel industry has been decimated as the world has adjusted to unprecedented travel restrictions, social distancing and the need to self isolate in order to combat the spread of the Coronavirus.  It's not just the travel industry that has been affected of course, but businesses across the board, small and large.

In line with the updated guidance from the government, we have taken the decision to suspend the availability of all our tours until May 31 2020, subject to review.  We place the highest emphasis on our customers' safety and wellbeing and, as a small, family business, we recognise that health concerns must come first.

Lyme Park is one of the most popular locations to visit on our Peak District Tours, whether it is for fans of the 1995 BBC production of Pride & Prejudice, or just as part of a scenic experience.  Situated a few miles from the Peak District national park, Lyme is the largest house in Cheshire and is Grade 1 listed.  Lyme's history can be traced as far back as 1346, when the estate was gifted to Sir Thomas Danyers by Edward III, in gratitude for his service to the Black Prince at the Battle of Crecy.  Danyers had retrieved the standard of the Black Prince and was rewarded with annuity of 40 marks per year, which could be exchanged for land belonging to the Black Prince.
