We generally try to depart between 8am and 9am, and exact times will be confirmed in the final timings itinerary which arrives about a week before travel.
We send this close to travel so we can plan for any major traffic issues which sometimes arise due to road works etc.

Our aim at Pennywood Tours is to give you a relaxing and carefree time where we do all the work so you can sit back and enjoy the trip.
To this end, all tours are escorted by a group leader who will check you on board and make sure you can find your allocated seat. We’ll seat you with the person/people you are booked with but if you know of anyone else on the trip who has booked separately please let us know in advance and we’ll try to seat you all together. The coach will be a super deluxe vehicle with a toilet and is incredibly comfortable.
Our Group Leader will advise you of all the details of travel times, stops, when to return to the coach etc. so you will be in no doubt about what and when. He or she will be available for any additional questions you may have.
We will do our best to stick to our itinerary but you will understand that when there are traffic jams or adverse weather conditions, we may struggle to do everything as planned but we will let you know what information we have in these situations when we have it.
We look forward to seeing you and welcome any questions you may have by contacting us at info@pennywoodtours.com or on 01622 434 981.
Striking out north, we’ll take regular breaks as we progress to our main stop for the day at the National Memorial Arboretum.
The special objective of this site is to honour the fallen, recognise service and sacrifice, and foster pride in the British Armed Forces and civilian community. The site is vast and we won’t be able to see all of it, but we should get a good overview of the important areas and you can visit any special memorials you may wish to see.
Moving onwards, we reach our hotel for the night, the Lee Wood Hotel in Buxton, a wonderful family-run hotel with great food.
We have the day to explore this lovely spa town and have arranged for a behind-the-scenes tour of the Buxton Opera House, built in 1903, and still going strong.
Afterwards you are free to visit other attractions in the town such as the Pavilion Gardens, the Devonshire Dome, Cavendish Arcade and generally take in the air and water in this beautiful town.
In recent years we’ve only visited Chatsworth at Christmas and, whilst these visits have been a delightful experience, the beauty of the interior of this building has been somewhat obscured by the Christmas décor, and so we thought we’d visit the lovely house and grounds in their full autumn glory.
After breakfast we head southwards again and make a longer stop at Batsford Arboretum. This delightful venue on the edge of the Cotswolds should show some amazing colour at this time.
There is also a garden centre and a brand new café.
Our aim is to return to our starting points in the early evening.
Please note, all venues will require walking, possibly with steps and steep slopes, which may be slippery and uneven. You should be prepared to dress appropriately for the weather.
