Your holiday starts with a pick up from home by one of the vehicles from our Door to Door service and this will bring you through to our coach. We'll make our way to the lovely little town of Stamford where you'll find plenty of shops and cafes within the compact town centre. Leaving here, we'll continue our journey to the hotel, aiming to arrive late afternoon

Day 2

Our excursion today is to Kew Gardens. Founded in 1840 and boasting breath-taking landscapes, set in 300 acres of gardens, iconic glasshouses and a vast range of rare and beautiful plants. The Treetop Walkway, the floor of which is made from perforated metal and flexes as it is walked upon, takes visitors into the tree canopy of a woodland glade and which can be reached by either stairs or a lift. Kew Palace is the smallest of the British Royal Palaces and the "Queens Garden" has plants believed to have medicinal qualities.

We'll spend the morning at The Savill Garden, reputed to be one of Britain's finest ornamental gardens. Spread over 35 acres within Windsor Great Park, they were developed in the 1930s by Sir Eric Savill as a woodland garden and today showcase native oak, beech and sweet chestnut trees. Leaving here, we'll make the short journey to Windsor where you'll have some free time and enjoy a 40 minute boat trip.
