Historic Houses is a wonderful association that works to keep Britain’s special places alive for future generations to experience and enjoy. They have hundreds of homes in their portfolio with thousands of stories to tell. We are pleased to be able to offer a discount to any Historic Houses member booking one of our Door2Door Holidays that features a visit to one of these stunning locations – and 12 of our 2022 holidays do!
Find out why Arley Hall has been a much loved family home since the fifteenth century and why Great Dixter is a place of pilgrimage for horticulturists from all over the world! Uncover Forde Abbey’s 12th century roots as a Cistercian monastery and Pencarrow’s Iron Age fort in their Grade II listed garden. The Lake District doesn’t disappoint with over 100 pieces of intricate topiary at Levens Hall, thought to be the world’s oldest topiary gardens. Cross the Irish Sea to the only historic estate on the Isle of Man – Miltown House – with a reputation for the best cream teas and for being the most haunted building on the island! Hidden on the Isle of Anglesey is Plas Cadnant Gardens, a restoration garden than has undergone a spectacular transformation to reveal its early 19th century glory! Don’t miss Harewood House, a firm favourite here at Shaws, which boasts the first contemporary art gallery to be housed inside a country home, complemented by a magnificent Robert Adam interior.
Don’t forget we also offer discounts to any RHS, National Trust or English Heritage members who book a holiday featuring a visit to one of their locations, just let us know you’re a member when you book and bring your membership details with you on your holiday. Members can save £5pp per property visited when you book a holiday featuring a location managed by one of these organisations.
Happy discounted holidays everyone!
