Two more great day trips to tell you about. The first was on May 29 to the historic 27 Caen Hill Locks. This flight was John Rennie the Elder's solution to climbing a steep hill and, in 1810, was the last part of the 87-mile route of the Kennet and Avon navigation, commenced in 1796, between Bristol and Reading, to be opened.
On June 12 we had our ever popular Henley River Cruise & Afternoon tea. There was time before the cruise to explore Henley and some of our passengers found these lovely crocheted post box covers.

Another great day out with Ferndown Community Tours. Our great driver Paul drove us in our comfortable North Dorset Travel coach to Henley-on-Thames. We had a couple of hours to wander around this lovely town before boarding a boat for a leisurely cruise down the River Thames. We were served a delicious afternoon tea ~ yummy finger sandwiches and a choice of chocolate orange cake or lemon cake. It was such a relaxing day and we saw so many multi million pound homes along the river banks! We went through the Marsh Lock ~ got a good video of the lock opening but FB wouldn't let me add it here so it's a separate post!!

A wonderful trip to Windsor today. We were lucky as the rain stayed away! Some of our group queued to see Queen Mary's dolls house and some went through the staterooms but I think most of us visited St George's Chapel to view the final resting place of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. It was a very poignant moment. There is no photography allowed inside the Castle or the Chapel.
We have some exciting trips coming up. Please call us Mon-Fri from 10am to 2pm to book your seats: 01202 059735.

We have been on some wonderful day trips in July. We started with a visit to the RHS Hampton Court Flower Festival on July 6. Our next trip was to Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately no photography is permitted as I would have loved to show you the Coronation Regalia that was on display. July 20 took us to Lyme Regis. Our final July trip was to Tyntesfield House, a stunning ornate Victorian Gothic Revival house with extensive garden and parkland, just a stone's throw from Bristol.

What a glorious sunny day for our visit to Richmond. We had time to walk along the tow path, do some people watching and have lunch before meeting up for our visit to The Poppy Factory.
It was founded in 1922 to offer employment opportunities to wounded soldiers returning from the First World War, creating remembrance poppies and wreaths for the Royal Family and The Royal British Legion's annual Poppy Appeal.
The poppies are no longer made here as that has been mechanised. However all the wreaths laid at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day are still made here.
We had a very interesting talk from one of the hosts after which we were able to make our very own poppy! Our visit ended with a cup of tea (or coffee) and a slice of cake or a cup cake. Thanks again to North Dorset Travel and our wonderful driver, Rob.
We have some great trips coming up so call us Monday-Friday 10am to 2pm to request a brochure or make a reservation.
