Throughout August we will be offering a series of day trips to the beautiful county of Kent – the Garden of England.

These day excursions, which will mainly be on a Thursday, depart at about 08.30 and return by 18.30/19.00.

Morning coffee and biscuits will be served on the coach. Lunch can usually be obtained at the place being visited or you are welcome to bring a picnic if you wish.

Some of the places being visited are National Trust properties. We have not included entries fees in the price shown below as we realise that many of our clients are members of the National Trust
