#1 Flower Market & Sky Gardens
Enjoy the sights and sounds of Columbia Road in Bethnal Green as it’s transformed into an oasis of foliage and flowers. There are independent shops and restaurants to be enjoyed before we move on to the Sky Gardens. Enjoy the gardens and 360 degree views from the 36th floor in the heart of the City of London.
#2 Snowshill Manor & Garden
From snuff-boxes to suits of armour, masks to musical instruments, Snowshill Manor is a treasure trove of quirky and curious objects. The collection was the work of Charles Paget Wade, a man fascinated by anything hand-crafted and made with skill.
#3 Didcot Railway Centre
Travel back in time to the golden age of the Great Western Railway and savour the sights, sounds and smells of steam as you explore this 21-acre living museum with trains dating from Victorian times to the 1960s.
#4 Basildon Park
Sitting elegantly in historic parkland and gardens, this 18th-century house was purchased by Lord and Lady Iliffe in the 1950s, when it was de-requisitioned after the Second World War. With extraordinary vision, the Iliffes brought Basildon Park back to life, acquiring a collection of fine furnishings and carefully selected Old Masters.
#5 Chinnor & Princess Risborough Railway
We travel along the Chiltern foothills with Red Kites whirling overhead and the steam curling lazily past your window, whilst enjoying a cream tea served at your table.
#6 Cambridge Mosque
The Cambridge Central Mosque welcomes everyone regardless of background or faith. The Cambridge Central Mosque design was inspired both by Islamic and English religious architectural traditions.
More than ten years of dedicated work has resulted in a pioneering mosque, one that seems to have grown organically out of the landscape and celebrates our shared love of beauty.
#7 Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle, the family home to British Kings and Queens for over 1,000 years and today one of the official residences of His Majesty The King. The size of the castle (over 10.5 hectares) is breathtaking, in fact it is the largest and oldest occupied Castle in the world and it’s where Queen Elizabeth II chose to spend most of her private weekends.
#8 Christmas at Warwick Castle
Gaze upon glittering trees, wander through a sparkling outdoor light trail and skate across the spectacular open-air ice rink at Warwick Castle this Christmas.
