Tennessee is a good choice

Whatever your age there is plenty to see and do on holiday in Tennessee. From a 5 star luxury city break, to the farm life experience in the mountain wilds, you will be welcomed by that famous Southern hospitality.

Tennessee was the birthplace of rock n’ roll and remains its home, living on through the many live music venues and festivals of the capital Nashville. It boasts a humid sub-tropical climate with summer temperatures of over 30C. The geography of Tennessee is sweeping and vast, ranging from low-level river deltas, to rolling hills and forest covered mountains. The historical Appalachian Trail runs for 71 miles through Tennessean wilderness, a must for hikers. No holiday in Tennessee is complete without a trip to Memphis home of Sun studios and most importantly, Elvis Presley.

Become an ‘agri-tourist’ on a holiday to Tennessee, and visit one of the many country farms that dot the landscape from east to west. Take part in fruit picking in summer and harvest festivals in autumn, and visit farmers markets for delicious organic produce. Tennessee loves to celebrate its rich culture, and the best way to experience this is at a local festival. The more unusual include ‘Mule Day’ in late March, the ‘Cosby Ramp Festival’ in May that celebrates the ramp vegetable, and the ‘National Storytelling festival’ in October.
