BACK TO THE LAND IN BRITAIN
(Page 9 of 9)
The single disadvantage of these "club flights" is the
necessity of having one's name listed for five or six
months before departure. Once your name is down, however,
it's possible to book a seat on a particular flight without
further wait.

The ships of the HEAD & LORD LINE, 26 Beaver St., New
York, New York, regularly sail for Ireland and Scotland
from the east coast of Canada and the United States. The
trip across takes nine days so the $150
fare—including as it does, better than a week of
first class British hotel service—is reasonable
indeed.
Sea travel has the additional advantage of allowing large
amounts of baggage at no charge. Head and Lord will even
ferry a car across the Atlantic for you and, since British
auto makers offer their products at very reduced prices to
foreign visitors, you can always bring a bargain automobile
back to these shores if you decide not to homestead in the
U.K. Get full details on car purchase from:

If you fly into London (as many of today's tourists do),
you'll find fast, direct train service to: (a) Manchester,
which is 15 miles south of the best area for inexpensive
English hill farms. (b) Lancaster, which is 15 miles north
of the same area and only minutes from Heysham and its
daily $5.00 ferry to Ireland. Lancaster is also on the main
road and rail route to Scotland and is the departure point
for the nearby "lake district" and a massive farming region
south of Scotland's border. (c) Liverpool, about halfway
between the hill farms of both northern England and Wales.
And while we're on the subject of transportation: the most
beautiful vacation in the world would have to be roaming
free the country lanes of Ireland at the reins of a
horse-drawn Gypsy caravan (wagon). The van sleeps four and
the hire—which includes oats for the horse and a list
of farmers who provide overnight parking and
grazing—is only $50. Non-believers should write:

*Pan Europa also offers inexpensive sea crossings.
**Charter Flights makes west coast departures.
