Medieval Europe

This tour can be completely tailored to the area of Europe you choose.   

For example, if the tour takes in England, we will visit Chester, York, a medieval ‘living history’site, take workshops, visit many villages in the Costwolds and in Kent – the Cinque Ports.  We will include the major sites in London, of course and engage the student’s interest in the medieval period by bringing it to life with a specialist guide.  Germany is another wonderful country for unspoiled medieval villages.  In all countries the students will learn to understand the life of a medieval serf and the aristocracy, the wars and crusades that occurred at that time and will visit some of the Motte and Bailey castles to understand why they are built in that way.  Students will perhaps have an archery lesson or will learn a skill from that time and place.  This tour is designed to be interactive with the students and to assist them in understanding the huge differences in the ways of living that existed at that time in history.

Destinations

Choose one or two countries where we focus on the medieval times.  England, France, Germany and even the Czech Republic are all good examples of medieval times and have well preserved villages and towns.
