Sunday 21st to Wednesday 24th January, 2018
Description
Ireland might be famous for making their Guinness, but
they are also one of top manufactures in the world for
farm machinery. Our tour of Ireland will visit the McHale
factory near Galway. McHale farm machinery is one of
the leading agriculture dealers in Ireland, providing
quality tractors and farm machinery to meet the demands of agricultural contractors. McHale is a
family run business, which was established by brothers Padraig and Martin McHale. Over the last
30 years they have developed a range of specialist farm machinery focusing on balers and bale
wrappers for the production of round and square baled silage, and round bales of hay and straw.
Day One We Leave Midway at 11.15pm on Sunday night and make our way to Fishguard for our
crossing to Rosslare in Ireland. On our morning arrival in Ireland we start our way towards
Galway, stopping for breakfast and lunch en-route before our arrival at our hotel in Galway.
Day Two We make our way to the McHale factory in Ballinrobe. As ever, we will be welcomed with
open arms to the factory and will be taken through the build process of these iconic green
machines. Over 90% of McHale machines produced are destined for the export market.
McHale balers and bale wrappers can be seen working in over 50 countries around the
world. After lunch at the factory it’s time to bid farewell to McHale and make our way back
to Killkenny, where a three course evening meal awaits us.
Day Three After a full Irish breakfast we make our way to Smyth Trailers based in Carlow; a leading
manufacturer and provider of trailers. The company was first established by brothers
Sam and Clive Smyth. Today, a highly-skilled team of designers, fabricators, welders and
finishers provide clients with long-lasting, robust and in many cases, bespoke solutions for
their trailer requirements. After a tour around the factory we will stop for lunch at a local
restaurant, before we continue to our next factory - Keenan, specialising in feeder wagons.
Keenan’s story goes back to the 1960s, with the start of the development of the Keenan
mixer wagon by farmer, engineer and innovator, Richard Keenan, a “reliable machine
capable of handling the toughest feeding ingredients.” After a visit to the Keenan factory
we start our way back to Rosslare stopping for food on the way to the boat. We hope to
arrive home in Crymych at around 11pm.

journey around Herefordshires Villages, including Eardisland - Award-winning
“Prettiest Village”, Weobley, and Pembridge. As wel as these, we will visit Kinnersley,
Sarnesfield, Lyonshall and Kingsland - and, of course, the two market towns of Kington and
Leominster – to give you the key elements of the now famous Black and White Village Trail.
Day Three Today we make the short distance to enjoy a half day trip in Hereford City. Relax in a coffee
shop, stroll around the traffic-free city centre, top-up your cultural habit at the Cathedral –
all just a short stroll from each other. This afternoon we make our way back to the Holme
Lacy for you to enjoy the many activities that the Warner team has to offer.
Day Four After breakfast we make our way east to Great Malvern. The delight of Great Malvern today
is still its unspoilt beauty, with a glimpse of the past Victorian era, including its many still-
working gas lamps, stunning views of the Severn Valley and wonderful shops and cafes.

and Bewildering Beamish
Monday 21st to Friday 25th May, 2018
Description
With its iconic cathedral and castle, Durham City is the jewel in the crown of an extraordinary county.
The quaint, old English University city offers relaxing riverside walks, galleries and museums and an
array of shops and markets. The Durham Dales and Vale of Durham are diverse landscapes, dotted
with market towns and picturesque villages. To the coast, and dominated by the beautiful 13th
century Abbey, Whitby is a traditional maritime town with old cobbled streets, picturesque houses
and sandy blue flag beaches.
Day One We depart Pembrokeshire and make our way towards the North-East with comfort stops
en-route.
Day Two We visit a very special place today; Beamish, The Living Museum of the North, a living,
working museum, set in 300 acres of beautiful Durham countryside. Trams rattle along the
cobbled streets and costumed folk bring to life how things were in North-East England
in the 1820s,1910s and 1940s. But, the things that make Beamish rather special are the
historic buildings. They’re not replicas, but have been brought, brick by brick, from around
the region and rebuilt to give visitors a real sense of history.
Day Three Enjoy a full day at your leisure, in Durham. This University city is home to one of the most
beautiful buildings in Britain and an icon for the north east – Durham Cathedral. This
ancient Cathedral has stood on the same spot for over 900 years and holds the remains ofonly

Museum or enjoy a relaxing sightseeing trip on the river. Later, visit Crook Hall, a rare
example of three eras of English domestic architecture; Medieval, Jacobean and Georgian.
The stunning gardens all have their own special history and their own personalities.
Day Four This morning we will make our way to Cragside House & Gardens, former home of the
famous inventor, Lord Armstrong. In 1878, Cragside was the first house in the world to
be lit by hydro-electricity and it is crammed full of ingenious gadgets – most of them still
working – as well as an eccentric collection of British art, furniture, ceramics and natural
history. Meanwhile, outside the house, one of the largest rock gardens in Europe leads
down to the Iron Bridge, which in turn leads to the formal garden which we can enjoy or,
alternatively, we can simply relax in the tearoom. In the afternoon we make our way to
Hexham for a well-deserved brew, stopping at Hedrians Wall for a quick photograph en-

countryside, we make our way to the traditional fishing village of Volendam. This delightful
village really is a picture of Holland as it used to be centuries ago. It retains much of its
old-world charm and it is not hard to imagine the hardworking fishermen returning with
the morning’s catch and the women sat repairing their nets in front of the rows of quaint
wooden cottages lining the picturesque waterfront. The villagers are renowned for still
wearing traditional Dutch dress, including the ladies’ white pinafores and curved bonnets,
and you may catch a glimpse of them arm in arm, during an enjoyable stroll around the
Doolhoof – the maze of tiny, narrow alleys and confusing jumble of houses nestling safely
behind the waterfront dyke.You can also read
