Discover England Discovery Trips

  • What’s a Macs Adventure Discovery Tour

    England and its regions are a land of contrasts, offering everything from rolling countryside and dramatic coastlines to vibrant cities and quaint villages. Our Discovery trips invite you to see more of the best of England in a single trip, and by adding a little travel by train you can sit back and relax, enjoying the scenery between hikes. 

    When to go?
    Spring and Autumn are ideal times to visit England, offering mild weather and fewer crowds. However, each season has its own charm. Summer brings longer days, perfect for exploring Cornwall’s beaches or the Lake District’s trails. For a cosy fall experience, combine hikes through golden landscapes with visits to traditional pubs.

  • Marazion Hotel | People Behind the Scenery

    Featured on our Discover England: Cotswolds to the Cornwall Coast tour is the Marazion Hotel. Nestled on Cornwall’s coast, just steps from the tidal causeway to St Michael’s Mount, the Marazion Hotel is more than a place to rest - it’s the beating heart of its community. In this episode of our People Behind the Scenery series, we visit this family-run hotel where manager Karen and her team welcome guests with warmth, care, and unmistakable Cornish charm. From locally sourced art on the walls to fresh catch on the table, every detail here tells a story of connection to the land, the sea, and the people who call Marazion home. Add in cozy corners, king-size comfort, and the unforgettable flavors of their Cutty Sark restaurant, and it’s a retreat you’ll never want to leave.
