No. 1 |
|
|
ON THIS TOUR two
nights are spent at the Valley
of Rocks Hotel, which stands
high on the cliff at Lynton,
overlooking Lynmouth and the
beautiful wooded North Devon
coast. The wild Exmoor country,
so well described in 'Lorna
Doone', forms the background
for the journey to and from
Lynton.
|
|
|
On the second
day the tourist is left with
the morning free to explore
Lynton and Lynmouth, and in
the afternoon a short tour is
provided through Barnstaple
to Ilfracombe. The route out
and back is chosen to give the
greatest possible variety of
scenery and points of interest.

TORQUAY is chosen as
the centre for this Tour. This well-known
resort is sufficient in itself to
attract tourists for this short stay,

through the heart of the Devonshire
countryside to Polperro: a small fishing
village of famous beauty and charm
on the South Cornish coast.

contains delightful countryside and
passes through the most beautiful
parts of Surrey.
|
|
|
On the second day from
Canterbury the coast of the ancient
Cinque Ports is visited. The route
takes in Margate, Sandwich, Deal,
Dover, Folkestone, Rye, Hastings and
Eastbourne, and gives a comprehensive
survey of this area, associated in
everyone's minds with the defence
of our island from the times of the
Norman invasion until the last war.

BLACKPOOL ILLUMINATIONS
are such an outstanding annual attraction
that many like to make a special visit

tourist direct to Blackpool, affording

in which to view the illuminations.

On the second day the
University town of Cambridge is visited

|
| Tour No. 8 |
|
| THIS TOUR has been
designed for those wishing to explore
the extreme northern Highlands of Scotland,
and to do this in a leisurely fashion. |
|
|
The arrangements provide
a combination of the No. 7 Tour, together
with a special seven-days' tour operated
by Scottish Omnibuses Limited to Strathpeffer
and the Western Highlands. Tourists
take the first seven days of the No.
7 Tour to Scotland, and on the eighth
day (Monday) join the Scottish Omnibuses'
coach at the Dunblane Hydro. The tour
then proceeds under the guidance of
Scottish Omnibuses, who are experts
in the exploration of the Highlands
by motor coach, and have very comprehensive
hotel arrangements and experienced
courriers for this purpose.
|
|
|
The first day is spent
in travelling through Pitlochry, the
Pass of Killiecrankie and Inverness
to Strathpeffer. The next five days
are spent centred on Strathpeffer,
with tours into the grand countryside
of the Western Highlands each day.
|
|
|
Loch Ness, Fort Augustus,
Loch Maree, Muir of Ord, Ullapool,
the Falls of Measach, Lairg, the Falls
of Shin, are a few of the names of
the places visited. It is doubtful
if anyone spending a holiday in the
Western Highlands could see so much
without the knowledge of the Scottish
Omnibuses in the preparation of the
routes.
|
|
|
Returning to Dunblane
Hydro on the following Sunday, the
tourists are again taken into the
care of the Hants and Dorset Company
and join the second half of the following
week's twelve-day Scottish Tour, returning
from Dunblane to the Peebles Hydro,
from which Edinburgh is visited, and
then taking the return route described
for Tour No. 7.

A TOUR of the Yorkshire
Dales is unforgettable; no one who

what loveliness lies in the unspoilt
country of the northern half of England's
largest county.

more historic interest than can be
found elsewhere in this country.
