DAY 1 Departure & Hampton Court Palace: A morning departure to Hampton Court Palace (admission included). Hampton Court has grown from humble beginnings in the 11th Century to one of the finest palaces in the world, whose previous owners include Cardinal Wolsey, Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.

After lunch, we travel the short distance to Caversham to meet the boat for our trip to Mapledurham. Just relax as the boat winds its way up the majestic River Thames passing by Purley on Thames to the Elizabethan Manor at Mapledurham and its working Watermill (admission included). Mapledurham is an oasis of peace, natural beauty and history which is an ideal setting for a great day out. Mapledurham House and Watermill, both dating back to Doomsday England is where visitors can enjoy the collection of portraits, furniture, the great oak staircases and original plaster ceilings.

LAST DAY Travel home via Windsor: We depart, stopping in Windsor, where there will be time to explore The Royal Borough. The River Thames flows through the town, dominated by Windsor Castle. We take a boat cruise along the river with views over the castle and Eton College. We arrive home during the evening.
