Suggested Tour Itinerary:

Day 1
Depart by coach during the morning and make our way to Woburn Abbey and Gardens, where along with the entrance fee, a 1½ hour tour of the Abbey is included.  This tour takes you from vault to underground grotto, and there are 3 other floors in between to be explored.
Despite its alluring exterior, Woburn Abbey’s other big draw is its works of art.  Hanging on every wall you’re bound to find an exquisite piece of artistry created by one of history’s respected artists.  Gainsborough, Van Dyck and Reynolds all have their place somewhere on the wall.

The surroundings at Woburn Abbey are impressive enough to stop you in your tracks, the Abbey itself overlooks 30 acres of serene and tranquil gardens, both formal and natural.  The gardens are perfect for leisurely strolls, especially with the likes of the Doric Temple, a small, secluded, white-pillared hideaway, and the Bog Garden where the carnivorous plants live.

The coach will depart during the late afternoon for the journey to our hotel - the 4* Holiday Inn, Milton Keynes, where accommodation is reserved for one night on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis.

Day 2 - After breakfast the coach will depart for the short journey to Bletchley Park, where entrance is included.  Once Britain’s best kept secret, today Bletchley Park, home of the Code Breakers is a Heritage site.  You can explore and experience the top secret world of iconic WWII code breaking huts and blocks set within an atmospheric Victorian estate where 12,000 people once worked in complete secrecy.   A complementary new Multimedia Guide allowing you to explore the site at your own pace and in your own time is included.  Further details about their Multimedia Guide can be found at www.bletchleypark.org.uk/content/visit/MMGuide.rhtm
