Next year will be a very special year for us as we celebrate our 85th year in business, and I believe our founder, Walter Ingham, would be proud of our continued dedication to offering one of the widest ranges of travel options to Europe. I’m confident the Summer 2019 programme will further cement our position as the UK’s market-leading Lakes & Mountains operator, and we look forward to welcoming all – both returning guests and new ones – next year.”
