I hope to secure either Wednesday 28th or Thursday 29th August 2024 to operate this tour, however Highgrove have not yet released the booking dates.
If you would like to confirm a booking, please forward your £75.00 per person deposit. If I am unable to secure one of the dates above, you will have the option to transfer your booking to the date I have managed to secure or cancel and receive a full refund.
*Please note: The tour has been advertised as also visiting Bourton on the Water. Since 1st January 2024, the coach park in Bourton has closed with no viable alternative in place. A visit to Bourton will be made if the Coach Park issue is resolved by the date of this tour, otherwise we will visit one of the other Cotswold villages instead. There are so many nice vilages to choose from!
Hannah, Garan & myself look forward to hearing from you.

Wednesday & Thursday
Two days touring and visiting The Cotswolds & King Charles’ Highgrove Gardens.
The Cotswolds excursion will travel through the lovely honey coloured Cotswold villages visiting
Bourton on the Water*.
The highlight of the tour will be the visit to Highgrove Gardens.
Both days will be separated by a stay in our favourite Delta by Marriott hotel in Swindon complete with leisure facilities.
The 1½-hour tour will be led by one of our experienced guides. In addition to revealing the gardens’ history, organic management and sources of inspiration, they will explain the hidden curios and horticultural innovations behind them.
Highgrove is a place of peace and tranquillity, where The King's passion and imagination have been etched onto the Cotswold landscape. From the magnificent Wildflower Meadow to the enchanting setting of the Arboretum, the gardens embody His Majesty's gardening ideals and organic principles.
