The best golf trips are remembered for more than the golf. Our base around Windsor and Ascot puts London, the Thames Valley, the Surrey Hills and some of England’s finest royal and historic sites within easy reach. The experiences below suit free days, non-golfing partners on golf days and evenings after a round. We arrange every one in-house, built into the same programme as the tee times, hotels and transport, so your clients have one itinerary and you have one point of contact.
Royal history, riverside dining and English parkland, all within a short drive of our partner hotels.
The oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, home to monarchs for more than 900 years. A private guide leads the group through the State Apartments and St George’s Chapel, followed by a stroll down through the town to the river.
A horse-drawn carriage ride through the royal parkland, along the Long Walk with views up to the castle, past ancient oaks and herds of deer. A quintessentially English way to see the estate.
Evening racing on the Thames-side figure-of-eight course is one of the most relaxed and sociable nights out in the area. Hospitality with dinner and a private viewing area can be arranged on selected race days.
Cruise downriver aboard a restored vintage launch, past Eton and Boveney Lock, to the village of Bray. Dinner follows at one of Bray’s two three-Michelin-star restaurants, among the most celebrated in Britain.
The riverside meadow where King John sealed Magna Carta in 1215, a document that shaped constitutions and legal systems around the world. The Magna Carta Memorial and the John F. Kennedy Memorial stand on the slopes above. A peaceful and thought-provoking visit.
National Trust gardens and a formal parterre high above the Thames, followed by lunch or afternoon tea at a grand country-house hotel famed for its history of political intrigue and high-society guests.
Iconic sights, shopping and theatre, with the coach waiting to bring the group back to the hotel.
A day among the West End’s famous names – Bond Street, Harrods, Liberty and Fortnum & Mason – with the coach on hand for the shopping bags. The day ends with a classic afternoon tea at a grand Mayfair hotel.
A private capsule for the group, with sweeping views over Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Thames during a 30-minute rotation. Champagne can be added on board.
Nearly a thousand years of history with an expert guide. The coronation church since 1066 and the resting place of monarchs, poets and scientists, with the Coronation Chair, Poets’ Corner and the Lady Chapel among the highlights.
Premium seats at one of London’s headline musicals or plays, with a pre-theatre dinner nearby and the coach waiting afterwards for the journey back. We suggest shows to match the group’s tastes and travel dates.
Tudor palaces, stately homes and the birthplace of British motorsport, each with an expert guide.
Henry VIII’s magnificent riverside palace with a private guide: the Great Hall, the Tudor kitchens, the Baroque state apartments of William III and the world-famous maze, with formal gardens stretching down to the Thames.
A guided visit to the Earl of Carnarvon’s home and the star of Downton Abbey: the state rooms, the library and the Egyptian exhibition celebrating the 5th Earl’s part in finding Tutankhamun’s tomb. Opening is seasonal, so dates are confirmed for each group.
The birthplace of British motorsport and aviation. Walk the original banked racing circuit, explore historic racing cars and aircraft, and step aboard Concorde for a virtual supersonic flight. The London Bus Museum is on the same site.
A guided walk through the city of dreaming spires: Christ Church and its Great Hall, the Radcliffe Camera, the Bridge of Sighs and the Bodleian Library.
World-class gardens, English sparkling wine and craft gin, ideal for non-golfers or a relaxed free day.
The Royal Horticultural Society’s flagship garden. A guided tour takes in the celebrated borders, the striking Glasshouse and the arboretum, with something in season from spring blossom to autumn colour. Lunch can be arranged on site.
The UNESCO World Heritage botanic gardens, with the Victorian Palm House, the Temperate House and the treetop walkway. Easily combined with the Richmond walking tour.
Denbies is one of England’s largest single-estate vineyards, on the chalk slopes of the North Downs. A tour of the vines and winery is followed by a tasting of award-winning English sparkling and still wines, with lunch in the estate restaurant.
Silent Pool is a craft distillery on the shore of the spring-fed Silent Pool lake. See the copper stills, learn how the botanicals come together and finish with a guided tasting. Just a few miles from Denbies, so the two combine beautifully as a Surrey Hills day.
For fans of television and football, two very English days out.
Walk in the footsteps of AFC Richmond: Richmond Green, the pub that became The Crown & Anchor, Mae’s corner and Ted’s flat, with behind-the-scenes stories from an expert guide. Biscuits optional, Believe essential.
Hospitality seats at a Premier League match, with pre-match dining and the unmistakable atmosphere of English football. Fixtures are published each June, so we confirm the best match for the group’s dates once they are out.
