Enjoy a day at leisure in seaside Eastbourne or why not join our optional excursion to hilltop Rye. This once-fortified town played an important role in the defence of the south coast of England, with tales of smugglers and highwaymen to be discovered amongst the cobbled streets and secret passages.

We also call at historic Hastings, where the ruins of the castle watch over the town and the three-mile stretch of glorious seafront.

Discover the 'loveliest castle in the world' on our excursion to glorious Leeds Castle. Designed to impress and amaze, Leeds Castle rises majestically from the still waters of its moat and is, without one of the most spectacular castles in England. Surrounded by 500 acres of beautiful parkland and gardens, Leeds Castle has been a Norman stronghold, the private property of six English queens, a home to Henry VIII and is now one of the most visited historic buildings in Britain.

Sissinghurst Castle Garden was the backdrop for a diverse history, from its astonishing time as a prison to being the home of the women's land army. The gardens here evoke the surroundings, with a Rose Garden, Lime Walk, White Garden and the colourful Cottage Garden.

"Cram, cram, cram every chink and cranny" was the approach to planting by Vita Sackville-West when her and her husband took ownership of the Sissinghurst Castle in 1930, and they set to work designing a garden that now is world-renowned and delights visitors from across the world.

Very efficiently run, although I didn't receive any luggage labels before travel. Good variety of trips, safe driver. Hotel was clean. Plenty of hot water. Cutbacks on the menu were obvious with less choice and variety. Menu repeated every 4 days which was disappointing.
