Suffolk & Essex Cruise Coast and Gardens

We will visit the highly praised Beth Chatto Gardens, which were once an overgrown wasteland but have become a source of inspiration. After exploring the gardens, we'll enjoy a cruise on the calm waters of the River Deben, one of the most beautiful spots on the East Coast.

Next, we'll head to Lavenham for a guided walking tour of what is known as 'England’s Finest Medieval Village.' Lavenham is a charming village featuring exquisite examples of timber-framed Tudor buildings.  Finally, we will travel past Chelmsford to RHS Garden Hyde Hall, an electric yet elegant garden that offers wonderful panoramic views over Essex, which often surprise visitors.
