RUDDICK TOURS 'Great Tours of Britain & Ireland'
Tours to the North & North East of London
TOUR 11: CAMBRIDGE and SUFFOLK (10 hours)
Visit the historic and picturesque University town of Cambridge and be guided through one or two of the colleges and admire some of the best architecture in Britain. After lunch, we drive through the Suffolk countryside taking a closer look at village scenes, which have inspired painters (Constable and Gainsborough included) for generations. Seeing the beautiful 15th/16th/17th century thatched cottages and half-timbered buildings, one feels that time has almost stopped in this unique part of England. |
TOUR 12: THE CONSTABLE VILLAGES & ROMAN COLCHESTER (10 hours)
Visit the intriguing Roman structures and fine medieval castle of Colchester. Walk the town's charming little streets and do some shopping - at better prices than London can offer. The afternoon is preceded by a fine pub lunch in one of the lovely Suffolk villages connected with the great 18th century landscape artist, John Constable, then we'll retrace his life and the scenes which so inspired him.
