Barnsdale Gardens & Rutland Belle Cream Tea

Itinerary

Day 1

Morning departure from your local pickup point, we make our way to Lincoln where we have some free time for shopping and sightseeing. The Cathedral is well worth a visit – it is one of the world’s greatest Cathedrals, welcoming people for almost a thousand years. Onwards to Stamford, a bustling market town with a wide range of shops, before arriving at the hotel early evening.

Day 2

We start the day at Barnsdale Gardens. Explore 38 individual gardens all filled with wonderful colours and scents. Whether you are a keen gardener or an armchair gardener, you’ll find something of interest here. In the afternoon we make a short stop in the traditional market town of Oakham before a visit to Rutland Water for a relaxing 45 minute cruise with a scrumptious cream tea.

Day 3

Today we visit Melton Mowbray, a town made famous for its delicious pork pies and Stilton cheese. You will have plenty of time to sample the local delicacies and browse the quirky shops before returning home.
