This 9-nighter in June slots in neatly between the flower shows at Chelsea and Hampton Court and brings together the Flower Festivals at Blenheim Place near Oxford and Castle Howard just outside York. On the way north, I’ve included treasure filled Chatsworth and on the return to London I’ve added magnificent Burghley House. Highlights include:
- A guided stroll through some of Oxford’s College gardens
- The Blenheim Palace Flower Show
- Visits to the superb Cotswold gardens at Kiftsgate Court and Hidcote Manor
- Chatsworth, the Palace of the Derbyshire Peak District
- A free day in York
- The Castle Howard Flower Festival
- Burghley, the grandest house of the Elizabethan Age
