Bluebell Rail and Castle Trail

Bluebell Rail and Castle Trail

Our Castle and Garden Trail is based in a highly rated 4-star hotel, with visits to three different styles of properties:  from a regal 700 year old castle, to an imposing one in the South Downs, and a 16^th century French Chateau.  Dating back to Norman times, Arundel Castle has finely preserved interiors, fascinating tapestries, antique furniture, and many rare paintings which are among the best in the UK. We spend time in the in the “city of dreaming spires”, Oxford is the oldest university town in the world, before heading to Waddesdon Manor, a 16^th century French Renaissance- style chateau, with a first-class collection of fine art and furniture.  A steam train journey through glorious Sussex countryside takes us to Hever Castle and Gardens, one of the best-kept examples of 13^th century castle, home to Anne Boleyn.
