Classic Britain deal with thousands of groups every year
- to make it easy for group organisers, we have painstakingly researched
and compiled dozens of itineraries suitable for groups. Here is one example
of the type of intinerary that we have on offer:
Dalwhinnie – Loch Ericht Hotel
Dalwhinnie village, high up in the Grampian Mountains in the Grampian
National Park, is an inspirational place at any time of year. In the spring,
when the snow lingers on the tops, the river rushes past the hotel, sparkling
& peaty. In the summer the hills are adorned with heather and salmon weave
their way up the rocky river bed. In autumn the colours change and in
the winter deer come off the hills in search of food. The first place
to visit is the famous Dalwhinnie disitllery, for a guided tour and a
visit to their Visitor Centre.
