1. Highclere Castle

Highclere Castle stands out as one of the most captivating UK excursions offered by Bayliss Executive Travel. A Victorian marvel and the real-life setting of hit TV series Downton Abbey, the estate is nestled in Hampshire's scenic parkland.

This Jacobethan-style castle, home to the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon, welcomes thousands of visitors annually. When journeying with Bayliss Executive Travel, explore the grandeur and history of the expansive 1,000-acre estate, and opt for on-site lunch or bring a picnic for a truly unforgettable day.

2. Le Touquet

Perched on the northern coast of France, Le Touquet exudes charm throughout the year. It’s a must-visit destination enriched by the convenience and luxury of Bayliss Executive Travel’s travel. An early start is recommended, and don't forget your passport and Euros for the journey!

Renowned for its picturesque sandy beach, the seaside town offers an array of boutiques, shops and restaurants to discover. The Musée du Touquet-Paris-Plage, situated just a short distance from the town centre, is a hit with tourists seeking a deeper understanding of Le Touquet's history, and there’s also the opportunity to appreciate an impressive collection of local artwork.

3. Windsor River Cruise

Have you considered immersing yourself in the magic of a Windsor River Cruise? Bayliss Executive Travel is bringing back this beloved tour for 2024, offering a delightful day trip to soak in the scenic beauty of the Royal River Thames.

Indulge in the experience with a Ploughman’s Lunch, complete with tea or coffee and cake. Following this, you'll have approximately three hours of free time to discover Windsor at your own pace. Whether you opt to explore Windsor Castle, enjoy some retail therapy, dine at one of the many restaurants or simply unwind, the choice is yours before embarking on the journey back home.

4. Kew Festive Lights

While Christmas may feel distant, it's wise to plan ahead. Kew Festive Lights promises an unforgettable experience brimming with holiday spirit! Christmas at Kew magically transforms the renowned botanic gardens into a wonderland, guided by whimsical snowflakes along a glittering one-mile trail.

Immerse yourself in the allure of a post-sunset journey, strolling amidst illuminated fountains, glowing waterside reflections and majestic glasshouses, and watch Kew's iconic architecture and distinctive tree canopies come alive in vibrant Christmas hues.

5. Christmas Markets

In 2023, Bayliss Executive Travel’s Christmas market tours were a sell-out sensation. Despite the early mention, bookings are already pouring in, making it advisable to secure your spot well in advance.

Whether you're drawn to the local charm of the UK or yearn for the festive magic of European destinations like France and Belgium, each market offers a unique shopping adventure.

Imagine strolling through the enchanting markets, with their cosy, twinkling stalls adorned with handmade crafts, while the air is filled with the irresistible scents of spiced mulled wine and delectable seasonal treats!
