Blending Science, Nature and Fun on School Trips to Florida
Located at the southeastern tip of the United States, and famous for its beaches and being the home of Disney, Florida offers more than just a place to go to soak up the sun in the mid-winter months. It is a great state to visit on school trips to give students a mix of science, nature, and technology, as well as a bit of all-important fun.
While in Florida exploring the science and nature of the area, students could head to the Everglades, and then to see the Harry P. Leu Gardens, before finishing with visits to the Disney Animal Park and Seaworld.
Everglades — In the southern part of Florida, the Everglades are a subtropical region of natural wetlands that are populated with sawgrass marshes, cypress swamps, pine rock lands, and the estuarine mangrove forests of the Ten Thousand Islands. School trips to the Everglades will always be well chaperoned by experts, as the area is home to many natural predators such as alligators and a variety of poisonous and non-poisonous snakes. In the 1970s, UNESCO and the Ramsar Convention dedicated the area as one of only three in the world to be considered a wetland of global importance – it is beautiful, interesting, and very hard to forget.
Harry P. Leu Gardens — Once school trips take students out of the Everglades and head back towards civilization, a trip to the Harry P. Leu Gardens in Orlando is well worthwhile to learn more about the region’s ecology. The gardens are semi-tropical and tropical with over 50 acres of manicured lawns and lakes. Established in 1936, they began with the international collection of plant species of Mr. and Mrs. Harry P. Leu, who then willed the house and grounds to the local government. While at the gardens, students should visit the house itself as well, which is now a museum and listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Disney Animal Park — After seeing the plant life at the Harry P. Leu Gardens and experiencing the wildness of the Everglades, students on school trips can experience a change of pace and see some of the most exotic animals in the world. The animals are incorporated into a wildlife park within the Disney attraction. Students can go on a VIP wildlife tour, or explore the rides and entertainment of the theme park. The animal park is an ideal stop on the itinerary of school trips, as it blends the fun of a Disney Park with the ethos of Walt Disney’s dedication to nature and its preservation.
Seaworld — Next stop on the agenda should without a doubt be Seaworld – a marine life-based zoological park that incorporates sea life and aquarium features into its entertainment ideology. With a host of rides that thrill and shows that mix sea-life with human performances, Seaworld is considered a must-see attraction for students in Florida. The park is also home to the ‘Wild Arctic’, an indoor zoo that features polar bears, walruses, and beluga whales, which is designed to mimic the look and feel of an arctic research station.

An Introduction to Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon
Twenty-five kilometres west of Birmingham, on the banks of the River Avon in Warwickshire, sits the medieval market town of Stratford-upon-Avon. Famous for its association with the playwright William Shakespeare, this town has embraced all things literary and turned its tourism industry into one of the most important economic supports of the town.
Officially, the town was founded in 1196 so school trips to Stratford-upon-Avon are well worthwhile for students with interest in history, literature or literary history. While in the town, students will see Shakespeare’s birthplace, Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, Hall’s Croft, and can take in a show by one of the world’s best-known theatre companies, the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Shakespeare’s Birthplace — Located on Henley Street the house was purchased by William’s father, John, in 1556, and in 1564 it was where William was born. He grew up here while his father worked as a local glove maker; students can still see how the house was originally divided to accommodate both the domestic life and his father’s business. School trips to Shakespeare’s birthplace will take students into the house, which has been carefully refurbished with meticulous attention to detail. It allows students to feel like they have returned to the 16th century and walked into Shakespeare’s private life – the house he returned to live in for a few years after his marriage to Anne Hathaway.
Anne Hathaway’s Cottage — William and Anne married in 1582, when William was just 18 and his bride was 26 or 27 and pregnant with their first of three children. There has been much speculation about the sentiments between Shakespeare and Hathaway, with his bequeath of ‘the second best bed’ being the only thing Shakespeare left her in his will. A visit to Anne’s childhood home just to the west of the town, in another small village called Shottery, is worth an excursion for students studying Shakespeare in school. Trips to the beautifully thatched cottage, where Shakespeare likely courted Anne, are fascinating, as it still contains pieces of furniture original to the 16th century.
Hall’s Croft — Found in the Old Town, Hall’s Croft was home to Shakespeare’s daughter and her well-known husband, Dr. John Hall. The impressive house was built in 1613 and is a testament to the couple’s wealth and power in Stratford-upon-Avon. After Shakespeare’s death, Susanna and Dr. Hall moved to New Place. Currently Croft’s Hall is a museum and exhibition area where students on school trips can wander through and can get a feel for the life of the privileged of the time and learn the history of some of the obscure medical practices of the period.
Royal Shakespeare Company — As one of the best-known theatre companies in the world, and one of Britain’s cultural treasures, schools trips must include RSC theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon in the itinerary. The first theatre in the town was built in 1769, but was washed away soon after. There was a small theatre built in the New Place location in the early to mid 19th century, but it soon fell into disrepair. However, in 1875, Charles Flower donated the current site and the first theatre opened in 1879, with a touring company resident every spring. Over the years the format has changed slightly, and in 2011 the Queen officially opened the transformed Royal Shakespeare Theatre, which was celebrating its 50th year

As the largest and arguably most important city in the United Kingdom, London is a natural choice for school trips to study the fine arts. Founded by the Romans over two thousand years ago, the city, located on the River Thames in the southwestern part of England, has been a cultural hub ever since.
While there is certainly no shortage of museums and galleries to visit while in the city, there are a few that should not be missed on your visit. Be sure to spend an afternoon at the National Gallery and its neighbour the National Portrait Gallery; head south of the river to the Tate Modern; and finish up your time in the city by moving from one Tate gallery to another, this time to see the works on display at the Tate Britain.
National Gallery — Founded in 1824, this large gallery, located in the heart of London in Trafalgar Square, is a must-see on all school trips to London. With a collection of over 2,400 Western European paintings, dating from the 13th to the 19th centuries, you should plan to spend several hours exploring the museum’s most well known works. These include Titian’s ‘Bacchus and Ariadne’, Rembrandt’s ‘Self Portrait at Age 34’, and ‘Venus and Mars’ by Botticelli just to mention a few.
If you find yourself with some spare time after the National Gallery, then head next door to the National Portrait Gallery. A tour of the National Portrait Gallery will take you through the history of a host of important British portraits. When it was officially founded in 1856, it was the first portrait gallery in the world, and with its current holding of over 11,000 portraits, it is one of the largest collections of portraitures in the world.
Tate Modern — Located just south of the River Thames between the Southwark and Blackfriars bridges, the Tate Modern stands out visually, as it is housed in the original Bankside Power Station. School trips to the gallery will take students through the large, industrial looking entrance and directly into the current exhibition space, known as Turbine Hall. Here you will come across the ever-changing temporary exhibitions – often unusual and always thought provoking. One such artwork was ‘Shibboleth’, a large crack in the floor of the gallery, created by Columbian artist Doris Salcedo. The rest of the collection throughout the gallery represents all the major movements from Fauvism onwards. Tate Modern is one of the most visited museums in the entire world and well worth an inclusion on art-based school trips.
Tate Britain — As part of the successful and important grouping of Tate museums, the Tate Britain is another that you must not miss on your school trips to the city. Housed just north of the river near Vauxhaul, on Millbank in the original Millbank Prison, the gallery was opened in 1897 as the Tate Gallery. As the National Gallery of British Art, the collection is comprised of an array of works by British artists from 1500 to the present. These include works by J.M.W. Turner, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Blake, and Francis Bacon.

When deciding on the best way to see Europe, train holidays are an often overlooked way of exploring the fascinating landmarks and landscapes of the continent. The rich history of the region is exhibited in many of its famous buildings, most of which have well organised museums and exhibitions that allow visitors to learn about the complicated course of events that shaped the people, cities and countries. In eastern and central Europe, the Ottoman, the Habsburg (or Hapsburg) and the Austro-Hungarian Empires all played an incredibly significant role in the shaping of the states. Buda castle in Budapest, Hungary, is one of the best places to explore in this part of Europe. Train holidays often pass through this city, so why not stop off in Budapest and visit the castle?
Buda Castle
A castle was first built on the hill by King Béla IV, between 1247 and 1265. Of what remains today, the oldest section was built by Stephen, Duke of Slavonia in the 14th century. Unfortunately, all that is left of this original structure are the foundations of what is known as ‘Stephen’s Tower’ and three interconnected, barrel-vaulted rooms. Stephen’s Tower was a formidably large structure with a distinctive turreted spire. The tower was destroyed by an explosion in 1686. The castle was greatly expanded by King Sigismund, perhaps the monarch most closely associated with the structure. If you want to see Sigismund today, you can spot him in statue form on the back of a horse in a prominent position outside of the castle. Through various repairs and redevelopments the castle continued to develop into one of the most impressive structures in this part of Europe. Train holidays to the region will offer you a good view of the castle rising above the city and the Danube as you roll into one of the stations.
Exploring History in Budapest
When you’re in Europe, train holidays that pass through Budapest can introduce you to a very different type of rail transport – the funicular railway, a common sight around many castles in this part of the world. If you do choose to take this route to Buda Castle, you will be treated to a stunning panorama of the city. That said, for those who enjoy stretching their legs, the walk up the switch-back cobbled road isn’t strenuous and also provides a great view.
In 1987 the region was announced as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This encompasses more than just the castle, with its official name being: ‘Budapest, including the banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter and Andrassy Avenue.’ Cultural sites around the castle include a number of galleries and museums.

The Danube Express has a range of exclusive, luxurious European train holidays taking in travel across fascinating countries such as Poland, Hungary and Turkey.

Exploring the Wilderness on Canada Hiking Holidays
Canada hiking holidays can offer the most breath taking and prodigious views in the world for those who venture out to Mount Robson Provincial Park. The second oldest park in British Columbia, it takes its name from the highest peak in the Rocky Mountains. The glaciated Mount Robson stands at almost 4000m high on the western end of the park, and provides an exciting challenge for those mountain hikers used to tackling intermediate and advanced peaks. However, for those not up for this level of hiking, the park still has much to offer, with its 224,866 hectares of stunning flora and fauna, wildlife and scenery set against picturesque mountains.
What you’ll find
Designated a World Heritage site in 1990, the Mount Robson Provincial Park is home to an abundance of wildlife and prolific flora, typical in the western slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Mount Robson is home to many mammals including wolf, coyote, moose, elk, deer, caribou and grizzly and black bears. The park is also home to over 182 species of bird and waterfowl, with four amphibians and one reptile native to the district. Canada hiking holidays will be nothing short of astounding for nature lovers who visit this natural sanctuary.
Hiking Trails
Whichever hiking trails you embark on through the park during your Canada hiking holiday, you are guaranteed encounter nature in all its grandeur. You’ll be able to discover one of the most popular trails in the Rockies, the Berg Lake Trail – a moderate two-day hike which covers around 27 miles. Many hikers are adamant that you won’t find anywhere else to match the superb scenery here: picture soaring trees, gushing waterfalls, canyons and glaciers against a backdrop of snow capped mountains. It’s scenery right out of a movie set, except even better, as you get the chance to experience it for real! The trail commences beside the Robson River near the visitors centre and along the way you’ll encounter the turquoise waters of Berg Lake. From its shores you can view another magnificent sight – the Berg Glacier, famed for being one of the few advancing glaciers in the Rockies. It’s just one of the many you’ll find on your Canada hiking holidays to the Provincial Park as it boasts over 15 glaciers, which you’ll sight before you get to Berg Lake.
If you don’t wish to take this trail, there are several other trails just as equally gratifying. There’s the Mount Fitzwilliam Trail, the Moose River Route, the Fraser River Route, and the Yellowhead Mountain Trail. Essentially, there’s a hike for everyone, with varying grades for the young, and young at heart.
While faced with the difficult decision of which trail to embark on first, don’t forget to take in the majestic Mount Robson itself. The Shuswap Indians reportedly called it “Yuh-hai-has-kun”, which translates to, “the mountain of the spiral road to heaven.” It’s not hard to see why.

It’s the kind of holiday you want to go on if your objective is getting away from the paparazzi (the privileged few!), the stresses of the boardroom, or just the strain of everyday life. It isn’t just your average island in the Caribbean though – it’s St. Barths. Saint Barthélemy, if you would like to be formal about it, is the site of the stylish, ultra-chic Eden Rock St Barths, the famed boutique resort-hotel that’s a getaway favourite of the rich and famous.
What to do at St Barths
For many who fall into this category, a getaway means lounging around on the beach and sunning their film-ready bodies far from screaming fans and camera flashlights – but what exactly does one do here? Plenty; just ask any of the A-listers who are among the super-secret guest list at the exclusive <a href=”http://www.essentialhotelcollection.co.uk/hotels/eden_rock_-_st_barths_french_west_indies”>Eden Rock, St Barths</a>, or the other chic resorts in this hideaway in the French West Indies. Barring that, just read on and we’ll tell you!
Relaxing at the beach
The beach, of course, is de rigeur – and there are many. Baie St. Jean (St. Jean Bay), for instance, is surrounded by pink and white coral sand, with its own live coral reef. It is the perfect, idyllic setting to lounge around and enjoy a luxurious, yet peaceful day in the sun, being massaged on your lounger, cold drink in hand.
Something more active
If you fancy something more active, but still taking advantage of the surrounding paradise, there are other options: walking to the natural pools and enjoying their recuperative waters, kayaking, paddle boarding, and even surfing, should the waves permit. You can also swim with dolphins and come nose to nose with sea turtles should you wish to do so. As well, you can take the opportunity to scuba dive from any one of 17 departure points straight from the beach. For those lucky enough to be a guest at Eden Rock St Barths, making arrangements are easier, as private instructors and trainers are available to initiate you into the joys of some of these activities.
Sailing is another option; after all, what’s more relaxing than spending a sunny day out on the blue ocean, wind whipping at your hair? Private yacht hires are available for a sunset sail or a leisurely cruise around the island, and, if you’re up to it, the local yacht club organises regattas all year round.
Shopping
For many, nothing is quite as relaxing as retail therapy. The region has options for shopping (with the added bonus of being a duty-free port), from simple souvenirs, crafts and beachwear, to luxury brands from shops in a setting that has been said to compare with Rue du Faubourg St. Honoré in Paris.
Culture
Should you wish to indulge in a touch of culture, particularly fine art, Eden Rock St Barths even has an art gallery, with regular exhibitions to suit the taste of even the most discerning culture vulture.

If you’re lucky enough to be heading off on a Canada hiking holiday, you’ll no doubt be aware of the many beautiful natural resources that the country offers visitors; but if you’re coming all this way, why not make sure that you tick off one of the world’s most famous tourist destinations? The Niagara Falls on the US/Canadian border has become one of the world’s most iconic landmarks, and if you are in the area they are a must see. The falls represent one of the frontiers of North America, and have gained a romance all of their own – not least from the iconic black and white photos of smartly dressed tightrope walkers making their way out across the water.
Here are some tips to bear in mind if you make it to Niagara Falls during your Canada hiking holiday:
When is the best time to visit?
The park is open 24 hours a day for the entire year. The area experiences its best weather from spring until autumn, particularly from mid May until September. The autumn colours are famous in the area, and many people travel to Niagara in the first couple of weeks of October to see the fall foliage. With the modernised infrastructure, many people find that even in the middle of winter Niagara Falls is a beautiful and awe-inspiring place to visit. So, if your Canada hiking holiday takes place during the chilly season, don’t let that put you off a trip to Niagara.
Visas and Paperwork
European passports do not need a visa to visit Niagara Falls, Canada. They do however; require a valid passport, a return ticket, and the ability to prove that they have enough money available to support themselves and any dependents during their time in the country. A valid passport is also required for those who wish to cross between Niagara Falls, Canada, and Niagara Falls, USA. Portuguese travellers also need to be in possession of a visa. Residents of countries elsewhere in the world should check with the respective Visa Offices for the Canada and the United States.
Transport to and from the Falls
There is a large car park that visitors can use which operates a parking fee during the busier months from May to September. For those on a Canada hiking holiday without access to a car, the Via Railway Station is located just under 2 miles from the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls, Ontario. There is also a bus terminal the same distance away. As just one of the features of this beautiful country though, the best way to see the falls, is as part of a wider organised walking tour of Canada.

There are many great reasons to choose a Canada hiking holiday: the stunning landscapes, the diversity of wildlife, and the sheer feeling of being surrounded by wilderness. King of the Canadian wilds, at least in terms of scale, is the famous Jasper National Park.
The park covers over 10,000 km2 of the Canadian Rockies and is located in the province of Alberta. A popular destination for all kinds of excursions, the park lends itself particularly well to a Canada hiking holiday, bringing together routes and activities for people of all ages and abilities. The natural wealth of the park was recognised by UNESCO in 1984, when it was declared, along with the other Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks, a World Heritage Site.
Jasper National Park
The park was named after a trader called Jasper Hawes who worked in the region for the North West Company. It became a park in 1907 and gained National Park status in 1930. Ideal for a Canada hiking holiday, the park has over 1200 km of trails and some great accommodation.
Maligne Lake Tours
During the wintertime, the park transforms into an otherworldly wonderland. Visitors can take guided canyon ice walks along the Maligne riverbed when it is transformed by the arrival of winter. The local guides take visitors on a trip below the frozen surface of the Maligne River to witness the incredible natural ice formations that form. The freezing temperatures cause the water levels to drop, allowing exploration of this hidden alien world.
Mount Edith Cavell
If you’re after a Canada hiking holiday that takes you up rather than down, then you will probably be interested in the hiking trail that runs up Mount Edith Cavell. There are two different types of guided tour offered on the mountain. If you’re an experienced walker and looking for something strenuous, then the Mount Cavell hike is perfect: a climb up through to the beautiful alpine meadows full of colourful wildflowers. If you’re less experienced, or looking for something a little more relaxing, then the Mount Cavell walk is a more suitable option: the walk takes a route through the glacial formations of the emerald lake. Both excursions lead to absolutely breath-taking views of the Angel Glacier.
The Icefields Parkway
If you’ve had enough of walking but you still want to experience the natural beauty of the Canadian Rockies, then you might want to hop in a car and take a cruise along the Icefields Parkway, surely one of the world’s most scenic highways. The road parallels the Continental Divide and provides a stunning 230 km stretch of jaw-dropping natural beauty all around. Make sure you keep your eyes on the road!

In a place where the clientele are used to only the best, one can be certain that the cuisine will range from the exquisite to the sublime. One such place is Eden Rock St Barths, the luxury resort-hotel that may be the closest thing one would ever get to Fantasy Island.
One look at the regulars of the stylish island of St Barths (assuming, of course, that you coul sneak a look, the elite guest list at Eden Rock St Barths) one may wonder just what kind of cuisine would be considered good enough. The answer: the kind of food and wine you will find at the superb restaurants dotting the island. And there is quite a variety – from simple sandwiches to the crowning jewels of haute cuisine. There are around 80 restaurants on the island, all unique but with one thing in common – they serve only the best!
Here are just a few of the restaurants considered the crème de la crème of St Barths’ gastronomic scene.
<a href=”http://www.essentialhotelcollection.co.uk/hotels/eden_rock_-_st_barths_french_west_indies”>Eden Rock St Barths</a> has the distinction of being home to two of the best restaurants on the island. With the famed French chef and restaurateur Jean-Georges Vongerichten at the helm, both venues boast menus that are nothing short of inspired. The high-quality palates of the elite guests to the island can’t seem to get enough.
The aptly named Sand Bar With Jean Georges, which is right on the beach and open for breakfast and lunch, offers exotic salads, pizza and other wonderfully-crafted fare. The menu is perfectly designed to complement the stunning oceanfront scenery. It is the ideal place to start the day, no matter what time you may get up! The wholewheat pizza with fontina cheese and black truffle is a must-try! Carefully selected wines from around the world make up the extensive wine list and include an an oft-recommended organic wine from Alsace.
On The Rocks With Jean Georges, Eden Rock St Barths’ gourmet dinner venue, is situated high on the rock itself, and offers a menu to match the exquisite views of Baie St. Jean. Similar to his famed Spice Market, the restaurant offers spectacular haute cuisine of the kind that Chef Jean Georges is known for. Whet your appetite with a salad of grilled octopus, eggplant compote and marinated pepper, followed by a succulent St. Barths lobster in toasted garlic-drawn butter and Thai coleslaw.
For something completely different, yet no less delicious, Le Bête à Z’Ailes, is an eclectic sushi bar that offers superb food and live music. The exquisitely cut sushi is not exactly traditional Caribbean fare, but it’s a dining experience to die for. With an exceptional sushi menu, sourced from the finest ingredients, it’s one of the few places on the island you’ll find a lively nightlife.

Experiencing the Best Cuisine of St Barths
There are many fantastic packages available in South America for those interested in walking holidays. Peru is a country that is often overlooked, nestled in the middle of South America between the Andes and the Pacific. It is particularly popular for those travelling through South America along the continent’s western spine. The Pacific coast is particularly worth exploring, with the port of Callao, the port city for Lima the nation’s capital, well worth a visit. The city of Callao has plenty to offer visitors to the region, being both a fascinating place to explore in its own right, and an ideal base for those on walking holidays. Peru’s western coast shows how much more there is to the country than the stunning Andean mountain range.
El Primer Puerto
As the nation’s port, Callao has a long and colourful history. The city was founded by Spanish colonists in 1537, a couple of years after Lima was established. During the wide-reaching Viceroyalty of Peru, which once covered most of Spanish-ruled South America, almost every product that originated from Peru, Bolivia or Argentina crossed the Andes on the back of a mule and passed through Callao on its way to destinations across the planet. For much of its almost 500 year history, the city has experienced a degree of autonomy from Lima, allowing it to develop its own character. This character will be clear to anyone travelling through on walking holidays. Peru’s first port is rightly regarded by the locals as a hidden gem.
Callao Today
The city of Callao inhabits the peninsula that forms the wealthy residential neighbourhood of La Punta. The city has distinctive architecture that developed following Callao’s destruction in 1746 by a tsunami. Thanks to its location on the Pacific coast, Callao provides access to a number of islands in the region. Two – San Lorenzo and El Frontón – aren’t particularly accessible, but the Cavinzas and the Palominos are home to a large number of sea lions and sea birds. The Real Felipe Fortress is a popular site. The building work for the fortress began in 1747 but then took place in various stages over the next half a century. The fortress played a pivotal role in a number of conflicts and was the last place held by the Spanish before they were pushed out of South America.
Tourist Sights Nearby
If you’re prepared to take a trip north during your walking holidays, Peru’s historic treasures are within easy reach of Callao. Caral is around 200 km north of the port city, but it is an essential trip for tourists in the area. Today a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Sacred City of Caral Supe is the site of the most ancient city in the Americas.
