Itinerary
Day 1
Local departure by coach or Door-to-Door service, then travel to Eastbourne for a four-night stay. Relax in the hotel or perhaps enjoy a stroll down the promenade this evening.
Day 2 Hever Castle
Location: Hever Castle
Explore romantic Hever Castle and its exquisitely presented gardens. Spanning more than 700 years, the history of Hever is rich and varied. It was once home to one of the most powerful families in the country, the Boleyns, including Anne, King Henry VIII's second wife, who became Queen of England for just 1000 days.
Day 3 Bluebell Railway And National Trust Sheffield Park Gardens
Location: Bluebell Railway and National Trust Sheffield Park Gardens
All aboard Bluebell Railway! We will journey into days gone by on one of the UK's best-preserved heritage steam railways, admiring the rolling Sussex countryside en route.
We then visit National Trust Sheffield Park and Garden. The garden is considered a horticultural work of art, with influences of Capability Brown and Humprhy Repton, and the parkland is a delight to explore.

Today we visit the gardens and ground of Herstmoneceux Castle. Stroll the themed gardens and woodland trails, as well as the beautiful lake and moat walks, which circle the stunning castle.
