Journeys 2025

We are delighted to publish our exciting new programme for 2025 with journeys to Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England.

All Journeying holidays are fully inclusive of accommodation, transport from the starting point of the holiday (you will need to get yourself to the starting point), entrance fees and meals except casual refreshments and where half-board arrangements exist.

Please don't forget to contact the leaders before you book, to check that a place is available. Also, please remember to book early due to the small size of our groups.
