In this jam-packed tour there really is something for everyone with visits to RHS Garden Wisley, the fascinating Polesden Lacey, Denbies Wine Estate, Brooklands Museum, and historic Guildford. RHS Garden Wisley is the historic home of the RHS and houses one of the largest plant collections in the world. We recently visited Denbies Wine Estate and can not recommend the attraction highly enough. Take their covered train through the vineyard or enjoy an indoor tour of the winery – both options include a tasting! Polesden Lacey is a popular National Trust attraction and has a fascinating link to the Royal Family jewels. Also included is the Brooklands Museum, a wealth of motor racing memorabilia.
