Local travel company Lesmon Travel has unveiled its 2026 brochure, promising a wide variety of trips across the UK and Southern Ireland.
The family-run company based in Frome was started over 40 years ago by Les and Mon Price and is now run by their daughter Brigitte, who is continuing her parents’ tradition of personal, friendly service.
Brigitte says the 2026 programme has been designed with relaxation in mind. “All but one of the tours are UK based, with as little travel time as possible from the hotel, so passengers can spend more time enjoying their holiday,” she explains.
Among the highlights are return visits to Bletchley Park, following last year’s sold-out tour, and a new five-night trip to the Isle of Man, added after several requests from customers. The brochure also includes a longer tour to Southern Ireland, which requires only photo ID rather than a passport, making it an accessible option for all.
All tours are conducted on a luxury air-conditioned coach provided by another family business, AL Executive, complete with drinks machine and toilet facilities.
Lesmon Travel offers door-to-door service across Westbury, Warminster and Frome with pickups either by minibus or directly onto the coach, whichever is most suitable. Those outside the catchment area can park at their Fairfield Close base, space permitting.
“Being a local company, the driver knows his way around the area,” added Brigitte. “And with his 35 years of experience, is always coming up with different places to stop enroute to surprise the passengers.”
Brigitte herself travels on all trips as courier, ensuring everything runs smoothly and serving hot drinks along the way.
She added, “I want to say a huge thank-you to my daughter Harley for all her help this past year – I wouldn’t be able to do it without her – and to my dad, Les, who still likes to help with pickups. Thanks also to all our loyal customers whose continuing support makes the job so worthwhile.”
A new website has been launched this year at www.lesmontravel.co.uk, with details of all the trips, and you can call Brigitte for more information on any of the tours or to get your copy of the new brochure.
