How it all started
Welcome to Away Day Coach Trips! I’m Jonathan Andrews, a long-time resident of Ferndown, with a deep appreciation for travel and exploration. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of discovering many wonderful destinations across the UK and abroad.
After being diagnosed with a rare eye condition over two decades ago, I had to step away from driving. In doing so, I found a renewed love for coach trips, enjoying the chance to sit back and relax, without the stress of the road.
My passion for travel led me to start Away Day Coach Trips as a way to bring people together socially in the community, and offer affordable day trips and short breaks to interesting and scenic locations. My hope is to share the joy of travel with others in the community and create memorable experiences for all.
