Description
Your full-day tour begins in Edinburgh and continues further south through the Scottish Borders, where you’ll stop at Melrose Abbey. This is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful ruins in Europe. The heart of Robert the Bruce is said to be buried at the Abbey, which is also the final resting place of a number of other Scottish Kings. From here it's on to England, where you'll have lots of time to explore the tour’s main attraction, Alnwick Castle. Alnwick is the 2nd-largest inhabited castle in England, having been lived in for over 700 years. It’s filled with fascinating things to see and mysteries to uncover. You may recognize it as a location from some of the Harry Potter films. You will then visit Howick Hall Gardens, home to the Grey family, for whom the Earl Grey blend of tea was created and named after. Here you would be able to enjoy a cup of tea in the cafe, learn more about the history of the Hall by exploring the visitor centre, or taking a walk through the extensive gardens.Includes
