From a trip up North to Northern Lights cruise

TRAVEL is all about contrasts and this week we can certainly offer that, everything from Disney to Durham! Let’s start, though, by taking the train right here in the UK with our special Rails, Peaks and Fells three-day coach holidays this autumn.

This spectacular rail weekend tour offers a real contrast of its own, for you’ll travel the famous and outstandingly scenic “Long Drag” from Settle to Carlisle. Then you’ll head back down closer to home to visit the nostalgic Severn Valley Steam Railway, which runs from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster.

   Whitby is one of the stops on a four-day trip to North Yorkshire

Durham’s Lumiere Light Festival in November is memorable, too. This beautiful, historic city is transformed as Britain’s largest light festival returns for four nights to set the city ablaze with light.

This great value weekend also includes visits to the famous Metro Centre for a spot of Christmas shopping and to the ever-popular city of York.

Or there’s a four-day trip to Beamish, Whitby and the North York Moors Railway where you can discover a region of stunning scenery and fascinating history.

On this wonderful, great-value weekend break you’ll visit Whitby, step back in time at Beamish Open Air Museum, and ride the North Yorks Moor Railway.

Head for the Continent and Disneyland Paris if you want to see a spectacular show. Mickey’s Magical Fireworks and Bonfire celebration are always very popular.

See the night sky above Lake Disney light up in an eye-popping explosion of fireworks and special effects on a magical evening of lights and music that also includes a special appearance by Mickey Mouse.

Or, maybe, you fancy taking to the water in search of one of nature’s greatest sights. If so, the 15-day Northern Lights Cruise aboard Marco Polo is the one to choose.

The cruise ship sails north along Norway’s fjord and island-dotted coastline, in search of the Aurora Borealis, the celestial phenomenon that has bewitched, enchanted and entranced generations, and which is truly one of Earth’s most awe-inspiring sights.
