Sample Day-by-Day Itinerary & Contact Information

Day 1, Oct 4, Thursday: DEPART NEWARK Make your way to Newark airport where you will board your overnight flight to Heathrow Airport. Dinner & breakfast will be served on board.

Day 2, Oct 5, Friday: (Feast of St. Faustina) ARRIVE UK Morning arrival at Heathrow Airport where we will be met by our professional Tour Director who will escort us for the duration of the pilgrimage.( Pending: Visit to the Carmelite Monastery in Notting Hill and/or Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and St. S. Stock Carmelite Priory).Then we proceed to London for panoramic tour including Mayfair, Piccadily, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, and the Changing of the Guard ceremony, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, London Eye, HMS, Belfast, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Kessington Pal-ace, Royal Albert Hall, St. Paul Cathedral. Admission to the impressive West-minster Abbey, shrine of St. Edward the Confessor, and burial sites of Kings and Queens, and participate in a service at Westminster Cathedral, the Cath-olic Cathedral of London. At the entrance of our Lady Chapel in Westminster Cathedral, Our Lady of Westminster (Dowry of Mary) has the oldest and miraculous statue made of alabaster housed at the Cathedral itself.

Day 3, Oct 6, Saturday: LONDON / SUDBURY / WALSINGHAM We start our morning with Holy Mass at the Shrine of the Sacred Heart and Tyburn Martyrs in Hyde Park Place. After breakfast we go to "a must visit" tower of London with its fabulous crowns and jewels, Bell Tower where St. Thomas Moore was jailed and beheaded in Tower Hill (burial place- St. Peter Ad Vincula). We pay a visit to the Southwark Cathedral Parish, Cathedral of the most Precious Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. We stop in All Hollows Church where Thomas Moore made many pilgrimages on foot to visit the famous Marian Shrine. Travel to Sudbury, the home of Thomas Gaines-borough. Visit St. Gregory's Church. Early evening arrival in Walsingham.

Day 4, Oct 7, Sunday: (Feast of our Lady of the Rosary) WALSINGHAM / ELY

The story goes that in the year 1061 Lady Richeldis de Faverches saw a vision of the Blessed Virgin who showed her what Her house in Nazareth looked like and asked the Lady to build a replica. It is said that every English man and woman during those times traveled to Walsingham at least once in his or her life. Certainly every King and Queen of England visited the Shrine. For 300 years after the reign of Henry VIII it was not possible for Catholics to visit Walsingham but in 1890 Miss Charlotte Boyd bought and restored the 'Slipper Chapel' which contains the Roman Catholic National Shrine of Our Lady. We will participate in the Holy Mass and liturgical celebrations of the day. Proceed to Ely Cathedral, regarded as one of England's finest Cathe-drals. For more than 400 years it was a church of the Benedictine Monastery and a Cathedral. After Henry VIII dissolved the Monastery in 1539 it contin-ued to exist as a Cathedral. We venerate Our Lady with Divine Child marvel-ously wrought in silver and gold.

Day 5, Oct 8, Monday: CAMBRIDGE / OXFORD / STRATFORD Holy Mass at TBA (ideally within walking distance of hotel). Morning walking tour to the historic city and the world famous university town of Cambridge with its stately colleges and the River Cam. Visit Kings College and other colleges with their gorgeous gardens as well as"The Backs". Afternoon walk-ing tour of Oxford, the city of "dreaming spires", center of scholarship for over 1000 years. It is famous for being home to some of the world's foremost universities and colleges and it is where many prominent religious and histor-ical figures taught, preached, or were educated. Oxford is the oldest English speaking university in the world with teaching known to exist in 1096 and today Oxford has achieved eminence above every other seat of learning. We continue to Stratford-upon-avon, Shakespeare's hometown. Shakespeare's evening optional performance.

Day 6, Oct 9, Tuesday: STRATFORD / CARDIGAN / WALES Admission to Shakespeare's birthplace when he was born 1564 and royal Shakespere's theatre. The home allows us to enter the Tudor world. We proceed to Cardigan.The National Catholic Shrine of Wales is that of Our Lady of Cardigan, also known as Our Lady of the Taper. In the middle ages a statue of Mary was found by the side of the River Teifi “and her son upon her lap and the taper burning in her hand.” It was taken to the parish church but would not remain there returning 3 or 4 times to the place where now is built a church of our Lady. In 1986 the statue was recast in bronze, was blessed in Cardiff Cathedral and brought all over Wales before on Pentecost Sunday May 18, 1986 it was solemnly installed. Pope John Paul II blessed a taper in Rome on the occasion and was placed in the hand of the statue and lit. Our Lady of the Taper is the only church in Britain to possess a genuine stone from Calvary. The Statue was brought to Westminster Cathedral when Pope Benedict XVI came to visit UK in September 2010. His Holiness after bless-ing the Statue lit a taper and placed it in Her hand symbolizing his being ‘in touch with Wales’ during his visit. Holy Mass in the Shrine.

Day 7, Oct 10, Wednesday: CARDIGAN / SOMERSET / GLASTONBURY TOR

Holy Mass at the National Catholic Shrine of Wales. After the visit to the Shrine we travel to Glastonbury. Glastonbury is considered the birthplace of

Christianity in England and remains today a city shrouded in myths, legends, and traditions. In Glaston-bury Abbey was the most ancient and ven-erable sanctuary of our Blessed Mother, the silver chapel of our Lady was stored with costly gifts and among the Saxon Kings who came here for pilgrim-age was Edgar the Peaceable who laid his scepter on the Blessed Virgin’s altar and placed his king-dom under Her patronage. Throughout the centuries pilgrims traveled here to visit Glastonbury Tor (tor means “hill”or “peak”), a striking yet natural cone-shaped hill associated with the Holy Grail---the cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper and which served as the legendary quest of King Arthur and his knights. According to legend, Joseph of Arimathea journeyed to Britain bear-ing the Holy Grail and settled at the Isle of Avalon (modern day Glastonbury) on Wearyall Hill located just below the Tor. Upon his arrival, Joseph stuck his staff into the ground and it rooted and grew into a thorn tree- today known as the Holy Thorn. Joseph is said to have buried the Holy Grail here and soon after a miraculous spring (today’s Chalice Well) began to flow. Joseph and his followers built a church in Glastonbury, making the first Christian sanctu-ary in England. The church grew in size and became a prominent abbey until destroyed by King Henry VIII. Today Glastonbury remains a popular pilgrim-age site not only for Christians but for others interested in heritage, history, and the stories of the Holy Grail.

Day 8, Oct 11, Thursday: GLASTONBURY TOR / SALISBURY Morning admission to Glastonbury Abbey and opportunity to climb Glaston-bury Tor (reasonably strenuous walk as path is steep towards the top. Would need to allow a couple of hours at least). Holy Mass at Glastonbury.Continue to Salisbury to visit the Cathedral.

Day 9, Oct 12, Friday: CANTERBURY / CHARTWELL In the Middle Ages Canterbury was the most heavily traveled road to Eng-land; the pilgrimage route to the shrine of the martyr Thomas Becket. We will visit Canterbury Cathedral. St. Augustine created a cathedral and burned down in 1067, but the Normans soon built a new one on the same site. About a hundred years later King Henry the Second appointed his friend Thomas Becket as Archbishop of Canterbury. Four of the king’s knights traveled to Canterbury, where they murdered Becket inside the Cathedral. We will see the martyrdom door and the site of his tomb. He was canonized shortly and for centuries pilgrims flocked to his shrine. We will also visit the Oratory of our Lady in St. Augustine Monastery . We proceed to Chartwell, the family home of Sir Winston Churchill. He bought the estate in 1922 and except for the war years, spent as much time as he could here. We visit the house, gardens and studio.

Day 10, Oct 13, Saturday: (Feast of our Lady of Fatima) FAVERSHAM We proceed to the Parish of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the Shrine of St. Jude in Faversham and participate in the liturgical celebrations.

Day 11, Oct 14, Sunday: HENFIELD / WEST GRINSTEAD Holy Mass at Corpus Christi Church in Henfield. Afterwards we proceed to Shrine Church of Our Lady of Consolation, the first Shrine in honor of our Blessed Lady to be established in England since before the Reformation. Free afternoon.

Day 12, Oct 15, Monday: (Feast of St. Teresa of Avila) AYLESFORD CARMELITE PRIORY We visit The Friars of the Order of the Carmelites, Shrine of Our Lady of the Assumption and St. Simon Stock. St. Simon Stock was the Prior General of the Carmelites here at Aylesford, Kent. On the night of July 15, 1251, he had a vision in which our Lady appeared to him. She told St. Simon that “this shall be to thee and all Carmelites a privilege, that whosoever dies clothed in this shall never suffer eternal fire”. He was given the Brown Scapular at that moment; and Carmelites have worn the Scapular ever since. We venerate the first class relic of St. Simon Stock and participate in the St. Teresa’s Feast celebrations.

Day 13, Oct 16, Tuesday: LONDON / USA Short transfer to Heathrow Airport for flight home

places as indicated. However, sometimes this is not possible as the site may not be available for Mass or itinerary changes are forced upon us. In this case an alternative site for Mass will be arranged.

SPECIAL MEDICAL CONDITIONS You must report any disability requiring special attention to 206 Tours at the time of registration for any

tour. We make every effort to accommodate disabled passengers by reserving for them wheelchair assistance at airports and handicap accessi-ble rooms where available, however, we cannot guarantee and are not

responsible for any denial of services by carriers, hotels, restaurants, or other independent suppliers. Be aware that all of our tours are operated outside the U.S. where the Americans with Disabilities Act is not appli-

cable and facilities for disabled individuals are limited. Most transporta-tion services, including the touring motor coaches, are not equipped with wheelchair ramps or lifts. We regret that we cannot provide individual

assistance to any tour participant for walking, dining, while in their room, on flight, getting on and off motor coaches and other vehicles, or other

personal needs. A qualified and physically able companion(s) must accompany travelers who need special assistance. It is the passenger's responsibility to arrange for such assistance prior to making their reserva-

tions. Motorized scooters are unsuitable and impossible to accommodate. 206 Tours is not responsible for any medical condition that occurs prior, during or after the tour. Additionally, airlines are not able to guarantee or

provide assistance for disabled travelers including special seating. Preg-nancy, Breast-Feeding, and Travel Pregnant women considering interna-

tional travel should be advised to evaluate the potential problems associ-ated with international travel as well as the quality of medical care available at the destination and during transit. A pregnant woman is

advised to travel with at least one companion; during her pregnancy, her level of comfort may be adversely affected by traveling. YOUNG TRAVELERS Travelers who are less than 18 years old on

the departure date must be accompanied by an adult. Due to heightened security, many countries have adopted practices to prevent international abductions of children. If a child will be traveling with adults other than

the parents or with only one parent, it is recommended that a notarized letter be written by the parents or non-traveling parent granting authoriza-

tion to travel including the dates of travel. We also suggest you contact the appropriate consulate and airlines because they may have additional requirements. For the purposes of 206 Tours trips an infant is defined as
