Vintage Essex Day Trip
What?
Vintage Essex Guided Tour is a coach excursion leaving and coming back to Iwade, with Iwade Tours hospitality including on board drinks.
Included in our tour are Morning refreshments in an old coaching inn in Thaxted, Ploughman’s lunch and a ride in some 1940’s and 1950’s vintage coaches.
We'lll visit the old wool church where English composer Gustav Holst played the organ and the vicar flew the Red Flag from the tower, weave past black and white striped Tudor houses and jolly colour-washed homes from the mediaeval to the Georgian period to the beautifully wonky old Guildhall, take in the gently rolling landscapes of rural Essex and the chocolate box village of Finchingfield as we head to Essex Rodings. Eight villages full of old thatched cottages, timber-framed manor houses and farmhouses form the largest group in the country to share a common name.
A ploughman's lunch is ready for us at the Lodge Garage in High Easter. We are surrounded by the vintage vehicle collection and old coaching ephemera collection of the Lodge Family who are approaching their centenary in the coaching business.
It's a lovely afternoon with time to enjoy the collection of old coaching and bus ephemera and rides out in immaculately restored 1940’s and 1950’s coaches that have starred in Only Fools spin off Rock & Chips and blockbuster series The Crown.
We finish the day with a cup of tea and cake, before we are ready to head home at 4.45pm.
