Tours and Visits

Each year we organise a programme of national and international tours and a series of one day local visits for small groups. In May 2024 we toured Suffolk and visited Holland in September. We also had a wonderful day visit to Compton Verney in April followed by a day at Kelmscott Manor and Buscot Park in September. Below are outline details of our 2025 tours to North Yorkshire and to Paris, including the Chateaux and Art of Northern France.
