Welcome to Althams Travel - A Truly Independent Travel Agent

Althams Travel was established way back in 1874 as one of England's very first travel agents, arranging rail excursions from the north west England industrial heartlands to the fast developing coastal resorts. Those early pioneering days of mass public leisure travel at affordable costs, have rewarded Althams with the ability and experience to provide todays traveller with a truly independent travel service.

By offering our customers a fully independent service, we endeavour to find you the most comprehensive holiday deals available from leading holiday companies, as well as offering you impartial advice from our team of experienced branch or telephone sales advisors.
