Bircham Windmill still looks as it did over 100 years ago. At that time over 300 mills ground corn for horse & cattle feed and bread-making in Norfolk. Today, very few windmills are left, and Bircham Mill is considered one of the best still remaining: it is the only windmill in working order in this area open to the public.​ We will also spend time exploring Hunstanton in the Sun and Wells Next The Sea.

A Mystery Tour in style... We board our Executive Coach - formerly the West Ham Team Coach - to a mystery location. A Member of Staff will be on board to serve food and drinks on the go!

Please note this coach is seated around tables, and some passengers will have to travel facing backwards.

Celebrate the arrival of spring 2026 at Tulleys Tulip Fields, a breathtaking natural spectacle featuring 500,000 vibrant tulips.

With over 100 varieties, including early bloomers, mid-season, and late-season tulips, the fields transform into a rolling kaleidoscope of colour throughout the season. Each variety showcases its own unique burst of colour, shape, and size, coming together to create a truly picturesque landscape. Enjoy your visit, savour traditional Dutch street food, enjoy live roaming entertainment, unwind with a refreshing drink or coffee from the charming coffee house, and snap unforgettable photos with our iconic windmill as the backdrop. Whether you’re capturing the beauty of the blooms or simply soaking in the magic of the season, Tulleys Tulip Fields is the perfect way to embrace spring.

There’s something special about a day spent exploring the historic towns of rural England, especially when it includes bustling markets, timber-framed streets and a classic cream tea. Our day began in the beautiful market town of Saffron Walden and ended in the postcard-perfect village of Lavenham, with plenty of charm in between. After a leisurely morning exploring the market, we set off through the gentle countryside of Essex and Suffolk toward Lavenham. The drive itself is part of the experience, with winding country lanes, rolling farmland and picturesque villages along the way. Settling into a cosy tearoom, we were served warm, freshly baked scones alongside thick clotted cream and sweet strawberry jam, accompanied by a pot of perfectly brewed tea. It’s a simple pleasure, but one that somehow tastes even better surrounded by centuries-old beams and views of cobbled streets.

Our day begins in the beautiful coastal town of Southwold, where colourful beach huts line the promenade and the fresh sea breeze instantly puts you in holiday mode. A stroll along the seafront and the iconic Southwold Pier is a must, with its quirky charm, independent shops and stunning views out across the North Sea.

After soaking up the seaside atmosphere, we took a short drive along the Suffolk coast to the peaceful village of Dunwich — a place steeped in history and surrounded by beautiful countryside.

Waiting for us there was a well-earned treat at Flora Tea Rooms. Their fish and chips are the perfect coastal comfort food — freshly cooked, golden and crispy, and best enjoyed outside in the garden with the sound of birds and the sea breeze in the background.

From seaside strolls to the perfect plate of fish and chips, this is one of those days that reminds you how special the Suffolk coast is.

Today is all about Choice.... 

You could join us as we head into Spalding on Market Day, or you could head to Springfields; Located just on the outskirts of Spalding, Springfields offers a fantastic mix of big-name brands and designer outlets, all with great savings. Whether you’re hunting for fashion, gifts, homeware or something special, there’s plenty to browse with a relaxed, open-air feel that makes shopping here a real pleasure. The beautifully landscaped Springfields Festival Gardens are a highlight in their own right. With colourful seasonal planting, peaceful pathways and lovely spots to sit and relax, it’s the perfect place to take a break between shops or simply enjoy the scenery. This is followed by a stunning two course lunch at the Anchor Inn, Long Sutton. A favourite in the Mystery Tour calendar last year.

Following the success of last year, we're back for another adventure to enjoy the Rolling hills, winding country lanes and views that seem to stretch forever — the countryside is simply breathtaking. A short visit is all it takes to appreciate why this part of England is so loved by walkers, photographers and anyone looking to escape into nature.

Much of the county lies within the stunning Peak District National Park, where dramatic landscapes, peaceful valleys and charming stone villages create the perfect setting for a relaxing day out. Every turn in the road reveals another postcard-worthy view.

Whether it’s a scenic drive, a countryside walk or just stopping to admire the views, a day in Derbyshire is a reminder of just how beautiful the English countryside can be.  Sometimes you only need a day to fall in love with a place... (and hopefully not your drivers!)
