Possible Holidays

One Week
The Four Counties Ring makes a good one week holiday, although strenuous at times. Alternatively, an out-and-back holiday can be taken from any of the bases.

Short Breaks
Mid-week and weekend breaks are available from all Holidays in the UK bases on the Four Counties Ring. Historic Chester may be reached on a short break from Base 18.

Longer Holidays
In a two week trip the Four Counties Ring can be combined with the Llangollen Canal or adjacent Rings, or can be extended with a visit to Chester, famous for its city walls and historic Rows.
