The Savill Garden and Edwardian Afternoon Tea Cruise (FULL)

About this excursion

£94 per person

Join us to visit the beautiful Savill Garden, a hidden gem in the heart of Windsor at a time when the rhododendrons and azaleas are at their best . We complete our day with a sumptuous Edwardian Afternoon Tea Cruise.

We start our day with morning refreshments at the Savill Garden, part of the Crown Estate in Windsor Great Park. You will be offered tea or coffee and a Danish Pastry or sausage roll before we meet our guides. These guides will be ‘Friends of the Savill Garden’ who will show us the garden highlights. Our first visit to the garden was at this time of year and the rhododendrons and azaleas were stunning and their reflections in the lake left a lasting memory with us.

There will be some free time in the garden before we rejoin the coach around 1.30pm to travel the short distance to Windsor to board the ‘Georgian’. Here we’ll be served an Edwardian style Afternoon Tea on our three hour leisurely cruise to Bray and return to Windsor. There will be a commentary during our journey and you may wish to join in some games which will be available on the top deck.
