Allington Castle Tour via The Kentish Lady – 9th June
Location not specified yet## Details
Another opportunity for a day out visiting the gorgeous Allington Castle
Allington is a hidden gem in the Kent countryside, privately owned and only available for these unique tours. This medieval 12th-century castle is located about three miles northwest of Maidstone. The castle is fully furnished in keeping with its medieval origins, with tapestries and antique furniture, as well as the Great Hall, where Henry VIII & Anne Boleyn dined with Sir Thomas Wyatt around 1530.
We make the journey by coach to Maidstone where you can enjoy a little time in the town pre-cruise time, perhaps enjoy a light lunch or time to shop before we board the Kentish Lady cruise boat.
Sailing to Allington, we begin our tour of this historic castle. You will also have the opportunity to walk through the gardens with the castle stewards and gardeners.
On the return journey on the Kentish Lady, you will enjoy tea or coffee and cake before disembarking at Maidstone for the return journey
ACCESS AND MOBILITY: We board the Kentish Lady at the quayside in Maidstone and disembark at Allington. There will be a few steps to navigate. Castle Tour: Please note the tour consists of walking on natural outdoor terrain, through gardens and standing for period of time listening to the Gardener team at Allington. There will be a brief opportunity to sit down in the main hall of the Castle to learn more about this historic place but then exit via stone steps back into the garden. Allington Tour lasts approx 90 minutes in total, Kentish Lady 30 mins each way. Please contact us if you have any doubt as to whether this tour is suitable if you have limited mobility.
£59pp – Cost includes executive coaching, entry and tour of Allington Castle and cruise and refreshments on the Kentish Lady – non refundable deposit £20pp
