Day 1
We travel to the Royal Borough of Windsor. Home to a rich mix of history, culture, and heritage, it is one of England’s most unique and beautiful destinations. We have included admission into the stunning Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Look out for the flag flying from the Castle’s Round Tower - if it’s the Royal Standard The King will be there too! Late afternoon it's all aboard for a two-hour river cruise down the River Thames. A delicious cream tea will be served as part of this nostalgic experience before we head to our overnight hotel.
Day 2
Today we travel via the rolling Chiltern Hills with a visit to the vibrant Georgian market town of Marlow, without doubt one of the loveliest locations on the River Thames. Famous historical residents include T. S. Eliot and Mary Shelley, who finished writing her 'Frankenstein' novel whilst living there. From here we begin our journey home mid-afternoon.
