New touring and modular itineraries have been developed for the US market, focusing on tested themes – connecting 13 destinations across England. Themes of ‘United Allies’ WW2, US military and the ‘Special Relationship’; Ancestral Tours of England; Old Stories of the New World and The Origins of Faith; highlight the cultural and historical links that underpin the Special Relationship between the US and England.
The project invites you to visit Lincolnshire, its nickname, Bomber County, does more than hint at Lincolnshire’s rich aviation heritage. Today, many important heritage sites pay tribute to the thousands of USAAF and RAF crews who lived here during World War II and the International Bomber Command Centre is the world’s most complete resource on the role of Bomber Command in World War II has interactive displays and first-hand accounts, a library, temporary exhibitions and the UK’s tallest war memorial.
Nottinghamshire known for its legendary outlaw Robin Hood, its legacy rings with rebels, heroes and leaders have many strong links to the US. Gaze into the canopy of Sherwood Forest and explore the historic caves beneath the dynamic city of Nottingham as the stories of Mayflower pilgrims, religious pioneers and World War II pilots reveal themselves in this green East Midlands county
