Forthcoming
Tours & Events
All tours start from London unless stated otherwise, but may
sometimes be joined en-route
RAIL ALE RAMBLES: Our RARs (primarily day trips by train,
sometimes with an overnight option), to interesting real ale breweries and
pubs, remain our mainstay and we have now organised over 200 of them since
1977. These tours may be arranged at quite short notice, so check back
often.
WEEKEND EXPLORERS: Long weekend trips,
in the UK and Europe, visiting interesting breweries and pubs with added
rail or cultural interest such as steam railways, narrow gauge lines, tram
systems, funiculars, boat travel or museums.
EXPLORER HOLIDAYS: 1 or 2 weeks or
perhaps longer, to destinations primarily in Britain but occasionally to
Europe and beyond, usually with brewery visits and rail interest.

Although
we have reduced the frequency of our trips since the pandemic, we are
still running (what we hope you agree is) a most interesting programme of
visits. Currently we have a Rail Ale Ramble (RAR) to Buckinghamshire and
five day visit to Llandudno on offer – see below for details. Other RARs
will be planned for later this year – make sure you are on our mailing
list (contact us on crookhamtravel@gmail.com to be the
first to hear of these and future tours!).
We can
also announce that we are planning a trip to celebrate Fifty Years of
Crookham Travel in 2027 – make sure you are on our mailing list to be the
first to hear of this event!

An Explorer visit to North Wales
based in the attractive seaside town of Llandudno. During this trip, we will be visiting
the Snowdon Mountain Railway for a journey to the summit by steam, having
trips around several Welsh breweries, taking a journey on a miniature
railway and travelling around the North Wales coast in a preserved London
Routemaster Bus amongst other attractions. This trip is more-or-less sold out and
we may not be able to offer late bookers the full programme but if you
still want to participate, please contact us as soon as possible for
further details.

Our next
RAR is to the attractive county of Buckinghamshire, starting at West
Wycombe station. During the full
day, we will be visiting four fine country pubs (all in the 2026 CAMRA
Good Beer Guide) and taking a journey on the whole length of the Chinnor
& Princes Risborough Railway (including traversing the newly
constructed independent line which allows trains to run into Princes
Risborough without having to use the Network Rail-owned track.) However, as space is limited due to the
size of some of the venues,you
are advised to contact us as soon as possible for further details.
