Belfast is a wonderful place to visit nowadays, as the Peace Process and investment in infrastructure and business, restaurants and bars, have all created an atmosphere of optimism and change. Indeed if you’re heading to Belfast for its history then there is a sense of history currently being made amidst the remnants of the city’s earlier divisions. From the ‘Divis Tower’ to the Peace Line to Solidarity Wall and the Sinn Fein headquarters, there is still much to see from the city’s troubled past whilst simultaneously getting a sense of optimism for the future. If it’s history from a little further back you’re after then why not explore Belfast Castle or the Albert Memorial Clock Tower, or the extravagant City Hall? Then travel to Stormont Castle or St Anne’s Cathedral, or stop and have a walk around the beautiful Queen’s University. You’ll quickly realize that Belfast is a city steeped in history and historic buildings. Should you wish to go even further back, then check out the Giant’s Ring, a Neolithic ritual complex with a Druid’s Altar at its heart.
Alternatively, why not explore Belfast’s industrial heritage, from the Custom House to the Conway Mill, a former flax mill that now holds a number of arts and crafts boutiques and shops?
If you fancy something lighter, why not try Belfast Zoo, one of Europe’s more inspiring and spacious zoos, or Belfast’s Botanic Gardens, with the Palm House and the Tropical Ravine? Or if you want to mix a bit of culture with a taste of the craic, why not pay a visit to the Crown Liquor Saloon, an ornately decorated saloon bar, owned by the National Trust. If that gives you a taste for more, then Belfast has a varied and exciting nightlife, from the massive and newly built Odyssey Complex to the eclectic and ever increasing selection of bars, clubs and restaurants. Wherever you want to go, National Coach Hire will get you there without any fuss.

If you want to use Belfast as a base to explore the rest of Northern Ireland, then coach hire really is the best way to travel. Travel by coach to the summit of Cave Hill on the outskirts of the city, and look over the whole of Belfast and beyond. If you want to go further afield, either on day trips or for longer, then traveling by coach allows you to get the most from Northern Ireland’s stunning landscape; from the Victorian resorts such as Portstewart and the hundreds of untouched fishing villages and sandy coves, to the massive and awe-inspiring volcanic terrain of the Giant’s Causeway. Whether you want to hike or bike for the day in the Mountains of Morne, or go fishing in Lower Lough Erne, we can be there at the end of the day to whisk you back to your hotel.  If you want to travel to or from Belfast, safely, quickly and with the flexibility to get the most from all of the surrounding countryside, then let National Coach Hire organize your trip.

Whether you live in Plymouth and are looking for coach hire to anywhere else in the UK or you are organising a group trip to this exciting city, Just Coach Hire can offer a relaxing, inexpensive and flexible service.

Plymouth is a city better associated with boats than coaches, a port with a wonderful maritime history, having witnessed the departure of the Pilgrims for America and having hosted the most famous bowls game in history with the Spanish Armada waiting nearby, as well as feeling the wrath of the Luftwaffe as a major Naval base. These days however it is a city on the rise, moving on from its concrete rebuild after the Second World War, and undergoing a number of intriguing redevelopments now changing the look and feel of the city.

Whether you live in Glasgow and are looking for coach hire to anywhere else in the UK or you are organising a group trip or holiday to this exciting city, National Coach Hire can offer a relaxing, inexpensive and flexible service. If you’re looking for a coach service from Glasgow, we can source the best quotes from the best operators in the city; if you’re heading to Glasgow from elsewhere then we can offer coach operators with an in depth knowledge of the city and the surrounding area.

Glasgow is a city that was built on tobacco and then shipbuilding, and a city that has bounced back from a long period of decline. It is a city that has changed so much over the last few years that it has been a constant award winner, from the European City of Culture award to being named UK City of Architecture and Design to most recently in 2008/2009 being named as one of the world’s top ten cities by Lonely Planet, citing ‘cocktails, cuisine and designer chic’ as defining the new Glasgow.

With regards to architecture, the city is one of the most exceptional destinations in the United Kingdom, and trying to fit in all the different sights is where coach hire really comes into its own. When you are exploring a city with so much architecture designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh it is hard to know where to start, from the Glasgow School of Art to the Scotland Street School, from the Willow Tearooms to the Queen’s Cross Church. But it is not just Mackintosh’s work that is worth exploring. Alexander Thomson’s buildings are also all across the city, from Holmwood House Villa to the St. Vincent Street Church. Finally there are the more modern buildings, such as the Scottish Exhibition Centre with the Clyde Auditorium designed by Norman Foster, and the new Museum of Transport to be designed by Zaha Adid.
When you’ve had your fill of architecture the city also holds an impressive collection of art, from the outstanding Burrell collection to the Gallery of Modern Art, and, most impressive, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum – the most visited museum in the UK outside of London, (with one highlight being the spectacular Christ of St. John on the Cross by Salvador Dali).

Whether you’re heading to Glasgow for the history or the arts, for business, or for the football at Ibrox and Hampden Park, coach hire really is the best way to fit everything in. And if you want to use Glasgow as a base and explore the outlying regions, whether they be Pollok Country Park or the Kelvin Walkway; or further afield day trips to the rival city of Edinburgh, or across to Stirling Castle or St Andrews; walking in the Trossachs or visit world famous Loch Lomond; wherever you want to go in Glasgow or Scotland, coach hire really is the best way to appreciate the stunning scenery and make the most of your time there.

It is easy to see why Edinburgh is the United Kingdom’s second most visited destination with over a million tourists a year. From its almost constant festival scene (including the world famous ‘Edinburgh Comedy Festival’) to its Hogmanay Street Party and the celebrations on Burns Night, there are many events that might bring you to Edinburgh. Whether you live in Edinburgh and are looking for coach hire, or you are organising a group trip or holiday to visit this exciting city, National Coach Hire can offer a relaxing, inexpensive and flexible service. We have access to the very best coach operators both in Edinburgh and all over the UK.

If you’re there for the history, then we’ll take you around by coach to visit all the sights, from Canongate Kirk and Greyfriars Kirk and Kirkyard (where the National Covenant was signed); to Holyrood Abbey and the dark black crags of Edinburgh Castle towering above the city; from the splendid Parliament House to the poignant Greyfriars Bobby there is history aplenty and, simultaneously, the buildings to go with it. In terms of architecture, Edinburgh is special, from the castles and the battlements to the old houses, to Charlotte Square to the City Chambers, (both designed by John Adam). It is also one of the best places in Britain for art and the arts, with five national galleries, from The National Gallery of Scotland to the Dean Gallery to the City Art Centre and the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art with a stunning collection ranging from Magritte and Picasso to Matisse and Mondrian.
With hundreds of other stunning museums and exhibitions, Edinburgh has too much to offer, so allow National Coach Hire to take you around the best bits!

From day trips to Holyrood Park and Duddingston Village in Edinburgh, to sailing in the Firth of Forth, coach hire can show you around the stunning outskirts of Edinburgh. And of course, should you wish to go further, there is the Border Region, the Forth Bridge, the Pentland Hills and the equally fascinating city of Glasgow. Perhaps you might wish to head up to St Andrews and visit the holy ground of golf, or across to Stirling Castle, for so long a centre point of Scottish History. Wherever you want to go, you can be sure the Scottish landscape will be incredible, and that travelling by coach is the only way to truly appreciate it.

The buzz around Leeds these days no longer emanates from industrial machinery. Instead, it comes from a city on the rise, a modern tourist destination with a regular influx of visitors, all keen to experience the many attractions; its industrial heritage, its beautiful surrounding scenery and its young and exciting nightlife. Rehabilitated after a period of decline and adjustment, Leeds has slowly positioned itself as one of the most exciting cities of the North, and a popular destination to visit. From the nightlife to the gorgeous Victorian buildings to a number of diverse and exciting museums and galleries, Leeds is a city that deserves to be properly explored. National Coach Hire will help you take advantage of everything Leeds has to offer -  traveling by coach is the best way to do this, and allows you to experience not just the city, but all of the stunning landscape on its outskirts.

Coach hire gives you and your group a flexibility that train, plane and car cannot match; whether it’s for sport, or business, drinks or shopping, having the coach waiting for you makes the most of your time and leaves you to see all of the attractions on offer. And in Leeds, there’s plenty to see. From Kirkstall Abbey, a 12th century Cistercian Abbey set in beautiful parklands alongside the River Aire and a stunningly dark and beautiful setting to walk around in, to the abbey gatehouses and the Abbey House Museum with reconstructed Victorian shops and houses, to the beautiful estate of Temple Newsam House with its massive gardens and rare breeds farm. Plan your itinerary to visit all these great houses and parks, from Lotherton Hall to Bramham Park, Harewood House to Leeds Museum to Armley Mills Industrial Museum, set amidst what used to be the world’s largest wool mill and exploring the fascinating history of Leeds’ industrial heritage; if it’s history you’re after there is plenty going on in Leeds.

If you’re looking for a little more colour, why not try Leeds Art Gallery which has a large collection of important British art; if it’s music and entertainment, then why not try any of the thousands of bars and clubs which make Leeds’s nightlife so special these days, from Millenium Square and the Northern Quarter to the more alternative and laid back atmosphere of the Briggate and North Street Areas. And when you’re done sampling these areas, why not let National Coach Hire whisk you back to your hotel at the end of the night.

Finally, if you’re using Leeds as a base to see the surrounding areas, there really is no better way to appreciate the countryside than by coach. Whether you want to jump on and off the Leeds Country Way, a circular walk of 62 miles around the outskirts of the city, or, more ambitiously, you might want to try sections of the Trans Penine Trail nearby, or the Yorkshire Moors, having a coach pick you up at the end of the day really is the only way to travel.
