National Trust Members’ Tour: Visit three wonderful National Trust properties including the Trust’s oldest nature reserve and England’s most famous fen. National Trust Members' price is £565!
Day 1 We travel to Cambridgeshire making suitable refreshment stops along the way, arriving at our hotel late afternoon.
Day 2 Our day begins at Anglesey Abbey and Gardens (NT). The Jacobean-style house takes us back to the golden age of country-house living, and the garden is glorious in June, with the herbaceous borders and Rose Garden in full bloom. We have a short visit to Cambridge on our return.
Day 3 We travel up to Ely for free time to explore. In the afternoon we visit Wicken Fen (NT), a national nature reserve giving a window into a lost fenland landscape. After an introductory talk, stroll along the boardwalks through areas lush with wetland plants and rich in wildlife.
Day 4 A visit to Wimpole (NT), a unique working estate with an impressive 17th-century mansion at its heart, where intimate family rooms contrast with lavish Georgian interiors. Outside we find a vibrant walled kitchen garden, parterre and winding pleasure grounds in acres of ancient parkland.
Day 5 After breakfast we travel home.
