2014-04-30

The lovely Cotswold village of Castle Combe is situated along the bank of the river Bybrook, the Cotswolds, England.

Fifty years ago, The Beatles landed at JFK airport for their first U.S. visit. They made appearances on “The Ed Sullivan Show” singing such memorable hits as “I Saw Her Standing There” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” held their first live concert at the Washington Coliseum, and played two shows at Carnegie Hall. Their two-week visit created frenzy among American fans!

To learn the genesis of this love affair, true Beatles fans must head across the pond to the Fab Four’s birthplace of Liverpool, England. Major tour operator Collette’s 10-day England’s Treasurestour is the perfect trip for you to further appreciate these music icons.
