The small but mighty England
Think you know England? Think again! Take a gander into the nooks and crannies of the country – take St Ives for example! This little British town in the county of Cornwall offers boutique-lined streets and scrumptious seafront snacks. Don’t fancy a seaside getaway? How about you visit some truly gob-smacking architecture, like the minster-piece of York or Brighton’s whopping Pavilion! You can even mix it up in Bristol’s trendy harbourside or take a walk around Cheddar Gorge (sorry, no cheese tastings, but lots of epic views!). England’s small enough to make it easy, but big enough to keep you guessing! With fully escorted coach tours or breezy self-drive options, all you need for these holidays is a suitcase and a sense of adventure!
Final call – have a look and book!

England
Explore your home and head on a tour featuring many incredible British Royal palaces and homes, on one of our coach holidays in the UK, including Buckingham and Kensington, as well as the Tower of London and Windsor Castle. Home to the Royals since 1837, Buckingham Palace is a must-visit when on a break in London. The Royal family are a key part of British culture, just like the desire to enjoy Devonshire cream tea in the heart of the rolling countryside, taking the chance to venture on a walking trail like the Agatha Christie Mile in gorgeous Torquay, or relishing in a seaside summer break with some sun, enjoying the traditional seafronts, piers, and bays in gorgeous resorts like Sandown and Yarmouth. England also has a long railroad history, which can be explored on board the extraordinary North Yorkshire Moors Railway, Kent & East Sussex Railway, East Lancashire Railway, and many more, winding through the gorgeous scenery of this attractive country. From the outstanding natural beauty of the Northumbrian coast to the popular resort of Eastbourne, the tranquillity of the breathtaking Lake District to the literary playground of Shakespeare’s County. You’re never short on things to see and do on a holiday in England with our UK coach holidays, river cruises, and self-drive holidays. Home really is where the heart is, so let’s explore it together…

Cornwall
From dramatic clifftops to postcard‑pretty fishing towns, coach holidays to Cornwall make seeing it all blissfully simple (no wrestling the car, no wrong turns, no “are we nearly there yet?”). You’ll wander places like St Ives, Padstow and Newquay, where colourful harbours, cobbled streets and sea air do most of the heavy lifting. Those famous golden beaches? Oh yes - miles of ’em, perfect for a paddle, a plonk‑down or a pasty break (crumbs optional). There’s history, there’s character, there’s plenty of time to potter - because Cornwall’s best enjoyed unhurried and unbothered. And with Shearings, it’s the easy route all the way: relaxed travel, friendly faces and award‑winning know‑how keeping things ticking along nicely. Our take? Big scenery, bold charm and proper British seaside magic - Cornwall, you beauty!

Devon
Clovelly
Nestled on a dramatic 400-foot cliff, this ancient fishing village is all about those iconic cobbled streets – no vehicles allowed! At Clovelly’s base, the harbour and pebble beach await, along with the friendly local pub ready to dish up delectable, fresh-caught seafood.
RHS Rosemoor
Every season brings its own splash of colour to this botanical wonderland! Each garden is lovingly looked after, such as the Fruit and Vegetable Garden, where nature’s candy is grown, and the Rose Gardens, that promise a ‘blooming’ good time!
Torquay
This cherished holiday destination has been drawing crowds like moths to a flame for years. Many of our hassle-free coach trips to Devon glide right into Torquay, where visitors can bask on the Torre Abbey Sands or navigate the lively Harbour and marina.
Eastbourne
Beachy Head
Just a hop, skip, and a jump from Eastbourne lies Beachy Head, the tallest chalk sea cliff in Britain. With the iconic red and white-striped lighthouse lighting up the horizon, it’s no surprise this scenic spot has graced the silver screen in so many films and TV shows.
Eastbourne Pier
This 150-year-old pier offers a slice of seaside nostalgia, where Victorian architecture shines brighter than a sunny day! Home to charming souvenir shops, classic attractions, and the ever-popular Victorian Tea Rooms, this pier is a must-visit for any seaside adventurer.
Museums and Galleries
The adventure begins at the Towner Art Gallery, where over 4,000 works of art are ready to dazzle and inspire. There’s also the Lifeboat Museum, that tells tales of the town’s brave lifeboat stories and maritime heritage.
Isle of Wight
Fancy somewhere that’s easy to get to, easy to explore, and easy to fall in love with (who doesn’t)? Coach holidays to the Isle of Wight make it a right doddle to see the island’s biggest hits - from Osborne House, the beloved holiday home of Queen Victoria, to scenic island tours packed with “oohs”, “aahs” and plenty of camera‑phone action. Think chalky cliffs, colourful coastlines and those famous golden beaches that just beg for a deckchair and a 99 (sprinkles mandatory). There’s time to potter through classic seaside towns like Ryde and Sandown, soak up the views, and enjoy the island at your own pace - no rushing, no fuss. And because you’re with Shearings, it’s all done the easy way: comfy travel, friendly faces and award‑winning service throughout. Our verdict? A cracking little island that delivers big on scenery, nostalgia and feel‑good holiday vibes!

Lake District
Windermere
Visitors will never run out of things to see, do and nibble on in Windermere. This lively town is brimming with independent shops, buzzing cafés, chic restaurants, and charming traditional pubs – the adventure here will be as rich as a fine local ale!
Keswick
Celebrated for its picture-perfect streets that could star in a rom-com, this town boasts views of mountains and lakes that beg for photos. Cosy pubs provide the perfect spot to sip something yummy – because nothing pairs better with beauty than a pint (or two) of local cheer!
Grasmere
Cuddled up in the heart of the breathtaking Lake District, Grasmere is where the spirit of William Wordsworth lingers. At his former home, Dove Cottage, visitors can step into the poet's shoes and discover what made him tick.
St Ives
Tate Gallery
Perched proudly overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the Tate Gallery is a must-visit for fans of modern and contemporary art, celebrating the creative souls who have made St. Ives their canvas. The collection is a vibrant mix of works from renowned artists like Alfred Wallis and Barbara Hepworth.
Barbara Hepworth Museum
Speaking of Barbara Hepworth – she has her own museum! Art lovers rejoice! The Barbara Hepworth Museum, housed in the former studio and garden of the sculptor, showcases a captivating range of exhibitions, grand sculptures, and inspiring paintings.
St. Ives Harbour
This Harbour boasts a trio of piers – Smeaton’s Pier, West Pier, and New Pier – like a maritime family portrait. Fishing and pleasure boats flit in and out, while an array of pubs, cafés, restaurants, and shops line the waterfront, ensuring visitors are always in for fun and flavour.
Whitby
Whitby Abbey
Whitby Abbey dramatically perches atop East Cliff, offering views of the North Sea that could make anyone swoon. Fun fact: Bram Stoker found his muse here, drawing inspiration from the abbey for his spine-tingling novel, Dracula – proof that even ghouls appreciate a good view!
Museums
Whitby Museum showcases the town's vibrant past through exhibitions on local archaeology, the whaling industry, and even a nod to Bram Stoker – it's like stepping into a time machine! With many intriguing museums to explore, Whitby is a paradise for history enthusiasts.
Whitby Harbour
The charming cobblestone streets of Whitby Harbour are lined with inviting bars and a mouthwatering array of fish and chip shops. Whether it’s sipping a pint or indulging in crispy chips, this harbour offers a feast for the senses!
Destinations to dream about...
Food and Drink
One of the best things about travelling? The food, of course! Every destination has its own favourites – the dishes locals swear by and visitors can’t stop talking about. To make things easier, we’ve picked out four must-try treats from this region, with a little flavour of what they’re all about.
So… which one’s making your mouth water?
Full English Breakfast
Pop the kettle on for a cuppa and tuck into the nation’s proudest plateful – the Full English breakfast! This classic dish brings together sausages, bacon, toast, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding and baked beans. Served far and wide with very few changes made, it’s Britain’s morning masterpiece!
Sunday Roast
The Sunday roast is a beloved British tradition – a plate piled high with roasted meat (beef’s the classic), creamy mash, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, herby stuffing and seasonal veg, and a splash of gravy over the lot. On the side, you’ll often find mint or apple sauce, and maybe a bit of horseradish.
Bangers and Mash
‘Bangers’ (that’s sausages – usually pork!) are teamed up with a hearty helping of mashed potatoes. The whole lot’s drizzled with a generous amount of rich gravy, with a side of veg. It’s warm, filling, and famously generous in size!
Chicken Tikka Masala
Some say it was born in Glasgow, others swear by its roots lie in the South Asian community of Britain. Wherever this curry came from, it’s now a firm favourite across England. Creamy and mild, chicken tikka masala is often compared to Indian butter chicken –best served with rice, naan, and a napkin at the ready!
