ENGLAND & SCOTLAND GARDENS, CASTLES AND COUNTRY ROADS
With Chelsea Flower Show
Celebrate the colours and vibrancy of spring on our 22 day gardens, historic homes and country roads tour through the England and Scotland, visiting fabulous gardens, along with majestic homes, castles and lakes. From south to west, then north we cover it all on this fabulous tour, discovering all things country-side England, before crossing the border into dramatic Scotland.
​
Our arrival into Scotland – the land of legends and romance, we travel from the great city of Edinburgh to the dramatic mountains and misty lochs of the Highlands. Exploring the charming, cobbled streets of St. Andrews and taking afternoon tea at Blair Castle—the historic home of the Atholl family for over seven centuries are sure to delight. We pass Britain’s northernmost point at John O’Groats before boarding our ferry to the Orkney Islands and the Over the Sea to Skye, considered the most beautiful island of the Inner Hebrides. Onwards through the highlands we continue and overnight in Glencoe before arriving into the southern city of Glasgow, known these days for it arts, culture and cuisine.
​
Heading back south over the border and towards the east we venture via historic Hadrians Walls before arriving into the beautiful city of York and spending two nights in lovely in the spa town of Harrogate. Our final journey south has us visiting Cambridge before arriving back into London, to attend what is sure to be a tour highlight, the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show, with our full day pass allowing plenty of time to visit the gardens in your own leisurely pace.
