If you and your friends are heading to Cardiff for a sports event at the awe-inspiring Millenium stadium, or are away for the weekend to experience some opera at the Wales Millenium Centre, or simply wish to use Cardiff as a base to explore the rest of Wales, National Coach Hire is the best way to travel. Coach hire allows you the freedom to get the most out of this exciting city and its surroundings – you can move from the understated beauty of the National Museum and Gallery of Wales, (containing world-famous collections of art from Monet to Van Gogh to Renoir) and the City Hall and Civic Centre, built in Neo-Classical white Portland stone; to the hundreds of beautiful Victorian and Edwardian streets, gardens and parks, to the 21st century shops and boutiques. If that gives you tired feet then you can jump back on the coach and head out to the tranquil Bute Park for some relaxation, or back to your hotel for a rest before hitting the endless choice of restaurants, bars and night-clubs in some of the city’s more bohemian quarters.

National Coach Hire takes you from the magnificence of Cardiff Castle to castles a little further afield, set amidst the valleys and hills that define Wales’ heritage. Contrast Cardiff Castle with the crazily ornate and kitsch Castell Coch, or experience the history at Caerphilly Castle, or better still, spend a day at Caerleon, the incredible site of a former fortress settlement built to home Roman legions and featuring excavations, a massive Roman amphitheatre and an equally impressive bath complex.
For a more Wordsworthian experience, why not let National Coach Hire whisk you to Tintern Abbey, the beautiful inspiration for one of Britain’s greatest poets and nestled in the Wye Valley. Should that inspire you to wander ‘lonely as a cloud’ why not use our coach hire to drop you and other like-minded hikers anywhere along the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, allowing you the freedom of a day spent walking in beautiful and peaceful landscapes, with the guarantee of a hassle-free ride at the end of it. And if the massive Pembrokeshire Coast is not enough you can always head over to the peaks of Brecon Beacon National Park!

Whether you’re travelling as a group to see sport, entertainment, or simply to experience the City itself; or whether you’re using Cardiff as a base to explore the stunning scenery of South Wales, National Coach Hire is the only way to experience up close this magical region.

Bristol has achieved quite a turn around over the last few years, changing from a tired industrial city  to one of Britain’s most energetic and exciting cities, leading the way in music, fashion and the arts. From Portishead and Massive Attack to local graffiti star and now global artist, Banksy, Bristol is an exciting city these days. If you’re planning a trip to Bristol and the beautiful surrounding region, why not let National Coach Hire help you get the most from this fascinating place?

Formerly famous for ship-building and manufacturing, Bristol is now one of the places to eat, drink and be entertained in Britain, with a young population and a vibrant nightlife, as well as fantastic historical attractions and ground-breaking museums. In keeping with the theme of innovation, there is no better way to first experience Bristol, (whether you are using it as a base or a destination), than to arrive by coach, coming across the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Designed by Isambad Kingdom Brunel and spanning the beautiful Avon Gorge, nothing else better epitomizes the sense of innovation and excitement of the city of Bristol than this world-famous engineering wonder.

Once in the city, let National Coach Hire take you around all the sights, from the magnificent British Empire and Commonwealth Museum highlighting five hundred years of British exploration, innovation and imperialism; to the City Museum and Art Gallery; to the waterways of the southern area of the city; and finally, to the stunning Bristol Cathedral. After a brief stop at the hotel, let the coach take the strain of the evening’s entertainment, whisking you to any of Bristol’s exciting and eclectic nightspots that might take your fancy.

Should you wish to use Bristol as a base and head further afield, coach hire is the perfect way to travel. Whether you wish to head over to the elegant Georgian townscape of Bath, set amidst the flowing green Avon Valley, or to organise a trip to the exhilarating ravine in the Mendip Plateau at Cheddar Gorge, or simply to explore the old Kingdom of Wessex (now made up of Wiltshire, Somerset and Dorset), National Coach Hire will help you see all the best of this beautiful region. Perhaps you wish to organise a group trip to Glastonbury, (whether it’s festival time or summer solstice), or perhaps you want to organise a trip down to Exmoor National Park; coach hire allows you the freedom to jump on and off at the wooded valleys of the national park or the coastal coves of some of the West Country’s beautiful seaside resorts and picturesque villages.  From Avebury and Stonehenge to the Cathedral cities of Wells and Salisbury, to some of England’s finest countryside, coach hire really is the best way to experience Bristol and the West Country.

Coach Hire Kent

Coach Hire Kent

Known as ‘The Garden of England’ and home in Canterbury to the Anglican Church, Kent and its countryside have had a peculiar grip on English history. Blessed both with fertile soil and the right climate, Kent has been growing fruit since its ancient orchards were planted by the Romans, from the famous apples and pears, cherries and plums to, astonishingly for England, miles and miles of vineyards. Equally, Canterbury and Kent have featured often in turning points of English history.

If you’re looking for coach hire in Kent, or are heading to Kent from somewhere else, then why not let National Coach Hire organise your trip? We are experts in Kent coach hire, and can source the best quotes in and around the area.

To travel by coach around Kent is to get a privileged view over the hundreds of orchards and vineyards that wind through the rolling countryside and which are interspersed with quaint roundels with oddly shaped pointed roofs. These are markers for Kent’s other main crop, its ancient hop farms. Indeed one of the joys of coach hire is the freedom to experience as many of these as you wish. The flexibility of coach hire over train or car means you can partake of as many ‘samples’ of Kentish ale as you feel necessary!
If, on the other hand, you are more interested in history than ale, then National Coach Hire can take you to some of England’s most important historical sites, from Leeds Castle, (considered by many to be the most beautiful castle in England) to Hever Castle, the 16th century home of Ann Boleyn, to the 15th Century Tudor mansion of Knole, (claimed by Henry VIII during the Dissolution) to Chartwell, home of Winston Churchill.
For those seeking a more literary flavour, National Coach Hire can take you to Rochester and Broadstairs to visit the holiday homes of Charles Dickens, or you can experience the wonderful castle and gardens at Sissinghurst, home to Vita Sackville West and frequented by the Bloomsbury set.
If you fancy a cheeky day out by the sea, why not gather your bucket and spade and allow National Coach Hire to take you by coach around the varied beaches of Kent, from ancient Rye and the stunning landscape of Camber Sands to the rambunctious and boisterous Margate, or the more laid-back and bohemian Whitstable?
Finally, there is Canterbury, a World Heritage Site and spiritual home to the Anglican Church. Originally named Durovernum by the Romans, then Cantwarabyrig by the Saxons, Canterbury remains to this day one of England’s finest and most visited cities. National Coach Hire can provide you with first class travel to and from Canterbury and help you to navigate the wealth of historical attractions on offer, from the site of the bloody murder and martyrdom of Thomas Beckett and the early gothic architecture of Canterbury Cathedral (and the thousands of years of English history contained within its walls); to the ruins of St Augustine’s Abbey, to St Martin’s Church, and the Roman Museum; Canterbury has enough to keep you busy for days. But when your feet get tired of your own ‘Canterbury pilgrimage’, National Coach Hire will whisk you away.
Whether you are in Kent for the churches or the museums, the castles or the orchards, whether you want to stand on the white cliffs of Dover or take a day trip to France via ferry or tunnel, National Coach Hire can organize your trip safely and efficiently, and show you the very best of England’s own garden en route.
