As we walk through the themed gardens, be sure to keep an eye out for an array of rare plants from around the world. Then: the rich history and royal traditions of Windsor await! Tonight, we’ll reconvene at the hotel for a delicious group meal.

Day 5 Windsor

What better way to spend the day than discovering Windsor’s regal highlights at our own pace? We’ll have plenty of time to visit the Castle (a working royal palace, so just check the opening times in advance), wander the picturesque riverside and sample a delicious afternoon tea at one of the tearooms around town.

After a full day of exploring, choose from one of the many cosy pubs and eateries – and enjoy an evening spent at your leisure.

Day 6 Windsor – RHS Garden Wisley and Hever Castle – Royal Tunbridge Wells

After breakfast in Windsor, we’ll make tracks to the tranquil RHS Garden Wisley, where we’ll take in the sounds of the water flowing through the rock garden and enjoy the serene Alpine Meadow.

This afternoon will see us wandering the award-winning gardens of Hever Castle – the childhood home of Henry VIII’s second queen, Anne Boleyn. We’ll rest our head in historic Tunbridge Wells tonight.

Day 7 Royal Tunbridge Wells – Sissinghurst Castle and Great Dixter – Royal Tunbridge Wells

This morning our road will turn east to Sissinghurst Castle Garden, an iconic retreat that’s renowned for its romantic design and colourful rose arrangements.

Then, we’ll swap sculpted layouts for the quaint, rustic charm of Great Dixter: the family home of famed English gardener Christopher Lloyd. Here we’ll discover how the sublime arts-and-crafts-style gardens inspired Lloyd throughout his career – with time to admire the estate’s vibrant grounds and historic architecture. Tonight, we’ll clink glasses over a farewell dinner back in Tunbridge Wells.

Day 8 Royal Tunbridge Wells – Ightham Mote – London

For our final day, we’ll have the opportunity to visit one of the most unique manor houses in Kent: Ightham Mote.

This medieval house dates back over 700 years and can only be reached via an ancient stone bridge that stretches over its very own moat. Then: it’s back to London, where our tour will come to a close.
