Mayflower 400
2020 marks the 400th anniversaryof this remarkable event
In 1620 the Pilgrim Fathers headed across the Atlantic to flee religious persecution, landing on the coast of Massachussetts. The rest, as they say, is history but their departure from England was not straightforward.
There are pilgrim connections in London, Southampton, Dartmouth and Plymouth.
Meet in London and exolore the Mayflower connections before heading westward to visit Southampton, the original setting off point, and visit historic sites before once again heading west to visit the lovely harbour town of Dartmouth in Devon (as did the Pilgrims). From Dartmouth we will make the relatively short journey to Plymouth. Again in the footsteps of the Pilgrims.
We will spend plenty of time in Plymouth to explore streets that would still be recognisable to the Pilgrims and a number of places where they were lodged before their final departure.
Our constant companion will be the stunning coastline of South and South West England from the tidal Thames in London to the Solent at Southampton and from stunning Dart estuary to the iconic view of Plymouth Sound from the 'Hoe'.
Discover Plymouth's multitude of connections with the New World; some historic, some more modern.
All that history and heritage with stunning scenery all the way.
We will also take time to discover some of the remarkable maritime history of Plymouth.
This tour can be adapted to individual guests' requirements, but would take in a minimum of one night in London ,as well as stays in Dartmouth and Plymouth.
