Highgrove has always been the private residence of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort, near Tetbury in Gloucestershire. Since 1980, when the then young Prince Charles first arrived at Highgrove, he had devoted much energy to transforming the gardens around the house, which are renowned as some of the most inspiring and innovative in the United Kingdom. Whilst we can’t visit the house itself, His Majesty kindly opens his gardens to the public and we’ll enjoy a tour with an experienced guide, who will reveal the garden’s history and some of the organic practices the King believes in.

We then continue to Cirencester, often referred to as the ‘Capital of the Cotswolds’. This lovely market town has ancient honey-coloured stone buildings, picturesque narrow streets and a fascinating history.

Discover the delights of Somerset as we travel through the beautiful scenery, calling at charming villages along the way. Firstly, we call at the village of Cheddar, home to the magnificent ravine that carves its way through the landscape.

We continue to Wells, England’s smallest cathedral city. Quintessentially English, the compact, cobbled centre is home to plenty of independent shops and high-street brands.

We round the day off with a visit to Glastonbury. Rich in myth and legend, Glastonbury is known for its ancient and medieval sights, and, of course, one of the most famous music festivals in the world!

We visited Highgrove Wells and Bath. Stayed in Bristol at the Leonardo hotel. Everything was very well organised even the coach transfer was painless. Would definitely use Shearings again.

Found the Front of House Manager Vicky (if she was) very rude and confrontational. Deeply disappointed that the lift was out of order and having to climb 4/5 flights of stairs to reach my room. Being almost 83 and having walking difficulties I had to make sure I had everything each morning to avoid going up the stairs unnecessarily.
