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.

Opened in 1903 this narrow gauge railway passes through quiet countryside as it weaves its way through the Banwy Valley Price $940 USD per personBywater Break: 4 nights. To cruise on a horse drawn boat is a totally unique experience as Sian glides silently through the water. With boat horse Buddy clip clopping in the distance you have effectively stepped back 200 years in time. Small farm bridges, once busy village wharfs and the occasional aqueduct mark Sian’s passage through the countryside $625.00 per person.
Try a Weekend on Water Break, 3 nights/2 days cruising, designed for people who want a weekend away to escape the pressures of 21st century life for a short time. Your weekend begins on Friday afternoon and ends after breakfast on the following Monday. Price $475 USD.
