Regional Tours

Moorland Rover has for many years been offering small, escorted tours off the beaten track in different parts of the UK and Ireland. The itineraries are set, but whimsical – Stephen Rees-Jones, who operates and escorts the tours, enjoys nothing more than taking clients on fascinating journeys of exploration through the countryside where they ‘happen upon' all kinds of interesting events, local people, crafts and wayside inns. Accommodations for the Moorland Rover tours are small, individually run hotels where the welcome is always warm, the food good, and the beds comfortable.

INQUIRIES/RESERVATIONS:

You can inquire and reserve all Moorland Rover and Bywater Canal Holidays through The English Experience in the USA and pay in US dollars by Visa or Mastercard or personal check. All documentation will be sent to you by us and you can call our toll free 800 # to ask any questions, make additional travel arrangements etc.

Book a Bygone Times Break and come for 6 days to enjoy travel on steam trains and a horse drawn boat. Book a unique Water Wheels Holiday. Come for 7 days and combine horse boat cruising with the opportunity to get well off the beaten track in a mini coach driven by an expert guide.

NEW for 2008: Walking Bywater Holidays
Your host, Stephen Rees-Jones, has been associated with the Inland Waterways for over thirty five years. In introducing Walking Bywater Holidays he has used his experience in selecting canal towpaths that pass through some of the best scenery found on the Inland Waterways. He would stress that these are more strolling holidays where the going is easy and the pace is leisurely. In the company of no more than twelve people you will stroll about five miles in the morning and perhaps one or two miles after lunch – if you like!

You are driven to the start of each walk in a comfortable mini coach and your driver will invariably take the scenic route.

NEW for 2008: Painting Bywater Holidays 
What can be more relaxing than to combine the restful reflections of water with the therapeutic opportunity to paint or draw? Painting Bywater Holidays are designed for people who seek a relaxing and informal holiday and the opportunity to practice their hobby in interesting surroundings under the watchful eye of a professional artist. The maximum number of people in the party will be limited to ten.

To present these holidays Stephen Rees-Jones has teamed up with Sandra Mead, BA(hons) Fine Art. One of the first contestants of “Watercolour Challenge”, Sandra has been involved with Inland Waterways for over thirty years. She has worked as an artist and designer and is an experienced tutor. Her inspirational approach is guaranteed to make your Painting Bywater a memorable holiday whatever your artistic ability. For more details e mail or call us on 215 699 6863
