Escorted Royal Highgrove and Sudeley Castle

Sunday

Your holiday starts with a pickup from home by one of the vehicles from our Door-to-Door service which will bring you through to our coach. Once on board we make our way to the World of Wedgwood for our light lunch. You may also like to indulge in a browse around the Wedgwood shops before we continue our journey to the hotel, aiming to arrive late afternoon.

Monday

After a leisurely breakfast, we'll make our way to Highgrove where we'll enjoy a two-hour guided tour of the gardens by one of Prince Charles Garden Guides. You'll discover how the Prince has transformed a landscape which was once merely a lawn into an ever-changing canvas of magnificent garden scenes. Please make sure you've got suitable walking shoes on! At the end of the tour enjoy a cream tea and you'll have time to visit the Highgrove shop. "Please be aware that to gain entry to Highgrove, you must have photographic identification such as Drivers Licence, Passport, or Bus Pass. Alternatively, two current utility bills in your own name"

Tuesday

Today we visit Sudeley Castle. There is so much to see and do here, we plan to spend the day here giving you time to enjoy and explore at your leisure.

Wednesday

Leaving the hotel after breakfast, we make our way to Cotswold Lavender Farm, a 3rd generation family farm set in the beautiful Cotswold Hills overlooking Broadway and the Vale of Evesham. In a typical English summer, the lavender should start to come into flower mid-June with the best time to see it early mid-July, (weather permitting!). Leaving here, we'll start our journey to your drop off point where the Door-to-Door vehicles will be waiting to take you home. A suitable stop will be made around lunchtime.
