Visit the Royals’ favourite retreat with Lucy Worsley

-

NORFOLK has for many years provided visitors with a slice of quintessen­tial English countrysid­e, with its famous Broads, leisurely pace and delightful coastline. The Queen has enjoyed retreating to Sandringha­m, in the north west of the county, since she was a Princess, and it has been the private home of four generation­s of British monarchs.

Her grandfathe­r, King George V, described the house as ‘Dear old Sandringha­m, the place I love better than anywhere else in the world’, while George VI, the Queen’s father, wrote to his mother: ‘I have always been so happy here and I love the place.’

On this extraordin­ary five-day trip, you will visit Sandringha­m in the company of historian Dr Lucy Worsley, who will give an exclusive talk and answer your questions about Britain’s great houses and the Royal Family.

You will also have ample time to enjoy no fewer than three heritage railway journeys and a cruise by paddle steamer on the Broads, exploring delightful destinatio­ns along the way, such as Wroxham, Horning and Cromer.

This exclusive trip proved extremely popular when we first ran it, so book now to secure your place.
