THE ROYAL GARDEN AND RIVER BOAT CRUISE

05 Jul 2012 : - :

A wonderful day out combining a visit to The Savill Garden with a return trip along The River Thames from historic Runnymede to Windsor. A perfect way to see Windsor Castle from the river, combined with a walk to ignite your senses around the beautiful Savill Garden.

The Savill Garden is one of Britain’s greatest ornamental gardens. Neither a botanical garden, nor a kitchen garden attached to a great house, it is a garden for the garden’s sake, enjoyed by horticulturalists and enthusiasts alike. It never fails to charm visitors who come to explore its 35 acres of contemporary and classically designed gardens and exotic woodland.

The Savill Garden is a place of constant discovery, and of hidden, interlocking gardens, containing distinctive planting groups including areas such as Spring Wood, The Summer Wood, The Hidden Gardens, The Summer Gardens, The Glades, Autumn Wood, The Azalea Walks and The New Zealand Garden. The Savill Garden mixes native and exotic species and has bred many important garden hybrids. Each ‘garden within a garden’ has its own attractions, and the gardens are ever-changing with every season bringing new colour and interest to delight the visitor.

Price includes: travel by coach, driver’s gratuity, entry to The Savill Garden, hot lunch, afternoon boat trip and a cream tea

The coach leaves Virgin Active at 8.45am and departs Runnymede at 4.45pm.
