Towards the centre of this brochure we feature our Grand Tours by Rail section, featuring longer, unique and limited edition holidays. If travelling from Land’s End to John O’Groats appeals to you, or perhaps a Derry to Kerry tour following in Michael Palin’s tracks, or even a Grand Tour of Poland or an 18 day Grand Norwegian adventure by steam, rail, funicular and boat across mountains and fjords, please turn to our section with the golden banner for Grand Tours by Railtrail .
