Southampton to London Transfer Tour: Beaulieu, Buckler's Hard & Windsor

Embark on a captivating journey to London exploring England's rich heritage on the way, beginning the moment you disembark in Southampton.

Beaulieu: Motoring Heritage

Just a 30-minute drive from Southampton, Beaulieu offers an unforgettable day out, featuring the renowned National Motor Museum. Explore over 250 classic and vintage cars, including the iconic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and memorable vehicles from Top Gear. The museum also showcases fascinating speed record breakers and engaging interactive exhibits, providing a fun and educational experience for all ages.

Your visit extends to Palace House, the historic ancestral home of the Montagu family. This unique estate combines 13th-century Beaulieu Abbey ruins with stunning Victorian Gothic architecture. You can explore centuries of history, from the serene Abbey ruins to the grand interiors of Palace House and its tranquil gardens. Enhance your experience by riding England's first monorail, which connects the museum to Palace House and offers panoramic views of the estate, or opt for a nostalgic journey on a vintage open-top bus.

Buckler's Hard: Georgian Maritime Haven

Step back in time at Buckler's Hard, a remarkably preserved 18th-century shipbuilding village on the Beaulieu River, where mighty vessels like Nelson's "Agamemnon" were crafted; explore its unique broad main street, once a bustling construction site, and step inside a Georgian shipwright's dwelling, imagining life during the great age of sail.

For a delightful lunch at Buckler's Hard, visitors can choose between the inviting Captain's Table café, where they can savour a delicious meal amidst the unique maritime history and picturesque surroundings of this charming shipbuilding village, or the cozy Yachtsman pub, nestled beside the Beaulieu River and offering nautical charm with lovely riverside views.

Windsor Castle: A Royal Home

Our last stop on the way to London is the oldest occupied castle in the world, Windsor, home to His Majesty King Charles III. We will have a drive around the castle for an all-round perspective before going inside. There is so much to see within Windsor Castle including Queen Mary's Dolls' House, a view of the Long Walk, the state apartments and the splendid late Gothic chapel of Saint George’s—the final resting place of many of England’s Kings and Queens, including the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Throughout your transfer tour, your knowledgeable guide will provide fascinating insights into history and culture, ensuring a comfortable and enriching experience. We'll conclude our tour with a timely arrival at your LOndon place of stay.
