As one of our more itinerant sojourns, this program offers a sweeping journey through the English countryside for those who like to travel. While days typically begin with a relaxed morning briefing from Professor Drout, this stands in contrast the to active afternoons and evenings exploring the archeological remains of Anglo-Saxon civilization. Traveling by privately chartered mini-coach, the sojourn works its way down the east coast of England, stopping at the most significant Anglo-Saxon remains. In some locations expert guest lecturers help us gain a deeper understanding of a specific site.

While our endeavor keeps us quite busy, we never loose site of the fact that this is journey is also a vacation.  So an ample amount of time is included during the week for participants to pursue their own interests. A large block of time is often left free during mid-day lunch stops. In addition, three evenings are left entirely free, one in Durham, one in York, and one in Canterbury.
