Explore the Royal Mewsand discover coaches, horses and carriages at one of the finest working stables in existence.
These are some of the things to see and do during your visit you shouldn't miss. The Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace is responsible for all road travel arrangements for The King and members of the Royal Family, from horse-and-carriage to car and from livery to harness.
See behind the scenes at a real working stables in the heart of London, steeped in royal history, and marvel at the iconic 260-year-old Gold State Coach, used at State occasions such as Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation in 1953, the Platinum Jubilee in 2022 and King Charles III Coronation in 2023. The Gold State Coach is the grandest coach at the Royal Mews. At 260 years old it has been used at every coronation since that of William IV. Queen Elizabeth II used it to travel on her Coronation Day in 1953, it appeared as part of the Platinum Jubilee Pageant in celebration of her seventy-year reign, and most recently at the Coronation of King Charles III in 2023.
The huge coach is seven meters long, 3.6 meters tall, weighs four tones, and needs eight horses to draw it. It features magnificent painted panels of Roman gods and goddesses, rich gilded sculptures including three cherubs on the roof representing England, Scotland, and Ireland, and four massive triton figures above each wheel. Look out for a horse or two during your visit to the Mews. There are 2 types of horses used to pull the carriages at the Mews: Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays.
Windsor Greys draw the carriages in which the monarch, other members of the Royal Family and guests travel. They're so called because they used to be kept at Windsor in Victorian times, where they drew the private carriages of the Royal Family. Windsor Greys are at least 16.1 hands (1.65m) high at the withers (the point on a horse's neck where the mane begins to grow) and are chosen for their steady temperament and stamina.
Cleveland Bays are used to pick up high commissioners and ambassadors presenting their credentials to the monarch, for other day-to-day activities, and as workhorses.
What there is to discover might astound you. From market towns to academic giants, escape into the history of England for a day.
Farewell for now, London. We've got a past to explore.
We make our way through Westminster and the City of London before heading north towards the county of Essex. Named after the East Saxons who colonized this area in the 6th century, suburbia soon makes way for a green and pleasant land.
First up is the quaint market town of Thaxted, nestled in the Uttlesford district of Essex.Back in the medieval day, it was a prominent centre for wool trade. It's easy to see how important this town was simply from the majestic and stunning parish church of St John the Baptist that dominates the skyline. Market squares and churches - these were the signifiers of important trade towns. Today, you can wander the town's charming streets lined with timber-framed homes on your way to one of the many hidden gems, from tea rooms to traditional pubs.
After a quick exploration of Thaxted, we head to our lunch stop for the day: the iconic city of Cambridge.
You've probably heard of it - there's a reason you picked this tour, right? It's a city known for its prestigious university, where the likes of Stephen Hawking and Charles Darwin studied. Intimidated yet? It's an 'intimidating' kind of place. It's awe-inspiring and gob-smacking and a place where all those kinds of descriptive phrases you've used come into play.
But beyond its academic prowess, Cambridge is also a beauty worthy of gazing upon. Glide down the River Cam as you discover punting - an iconic Cambridge activity- as well as the city. Walk along The Backs, a scenic stretch of parkland that hugs the river and colleges.
Explore Cambridge's vibrant cultural scene from theatres to galleries before heading to the market town of Saffron Walden.
Markets have been held here since 1141, and if you're lucky enough to visit on a Tuesday or Saturday, you'll see that tradition continues.
This little town was once known simply as 'Walden', but around 1500, the saffron crocus plant was grown extensively in the area. Saffron trade boomed. The town of Walden profited greatly from this beautiful plant... so it was renamed Saffron Walden.
But it has more than saffron and markets. Why not get lost in the Hedge Maze? Or take a moment to reflect on St Mary's Church?
After a wander and some food (and hopefully a bit of shopping!), we make our way back to London.

The most famous prehistoric monument in the world, and now a world heritage site, Stonehenge stands alone in the vast empty tract of Salisbury plain. Its origins date back nearly 5,000 years, and it has been home to pagan religion and spiritual worship, not to be mention public debate ever since. What was this vast collection of stones intended for? Was it an observatory of the moon, a temple to the sun, or an elaborate cemetery? Who were the people who carried and carved these 40 ton rocks? Come and unlock the secrets for yourself and marvel at this remarkable and mysterious feat of ancient engineering and design, as we enjoy the wonderful celebrations that take place to mark the summer solstice.
Sunset Tour (20 June) - 13 hours
Tour departs London at 12 noon and heads west towards the site, taking the time to enjoy the ancient stones at Avebury, before heading to picturesque Lacock for an early evening supper*, included in the price. From here we journey to Stonehenge itself arriving at roughly 7pm, as it begins it's annual celebration of the summer solstice. Huge crowds gather and there will be plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere of this historic event, walk amongst the stones, and observe the pagan rituals and ceremonies that take place at varying intervals throughout the evening. Please note there are two twenty to thirty-minute walks involved during the day to see the celebrations at Avebury and Stonehenge. *If the supper venue in Lacock is not available we will use an alternative in a different village.
Sunrise Tour (21 June) - 8 hours
Tour departs London at 1am on the 21st June and heads directly to Stonehenge arriving at roughly 3 am. The annual celebration of the summer solstice will be well under way by then as the atmosphere builds towards the sunrise and the climax of the event. Huge crowds gather and there will be plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere of this historic morning, walk amongst the stones, and observe the pagan rituals and ceremonies that take place at varying intervals throughout the evening. Please note there is a twenty to thirty-minute walk involved to get from the coach park to the event.
Summer Solstice
The solstice itself is an astronomical event that occurs twice each year as the Sun reaches its highest or lowest excursion relative to the celestial equator, with the sun appearing to have reached its highest or lowest annual altitude in the sky above the horizon.
The word solstice comes from the Latin sol (sun) and sister (to stand still), because, at the solstices, the Sun, as seen from earth stands still in declination before reversing it's direction. Thus after the summer solstice, the sun does not appear as high in the sky and daylight reduces. The solstice is therefore seen as the midpoint of summer in many cultures and is cause for celebration.
Pagan Celebrations
Like other religious groups, Pagans are in awe of the strength of the sun and the divine powers that create life. For many pagans, they believe that the Goddess took over the earth from the horned God at the beginning of spring and she is now at the height of her power and fertility. The summer solstice marks the marriage of the God and Goddess and sees their union as the force that creates the harvest's fruits. To celebrate many Pagans and non-Pagans head to ancient religious sites including Avebury and Stonehenge, to conduct fascinating and colourful ceremonies throughout the night enjoying the last sunset and sunrise before the sun alters it's direction once more.
The tour will return to London around midnight terminating at Victoria Station. We will make a few drop-offs including Gloucester Road Underground Station, Hyde Park Corner, and Trafalgar Square. Trafalgar Square is the central hub of London's excellent night bus service that will have a frequent service to your Central London hotel district if you miss the last Underground train. Finally, tour ends at Victoria Station.
Important information
Please take great care when visiting the historic site. It is important that Stonehenge and its surrounding Monuments are preserved for future generations, and we ask you not to touch the stones, and not to leave any litter at the site.
Visitors are requested to dispose of their rubbish carefully at the designated recycling and rubbish points located in the Solstice Car Park and at Stonehenge. Clear recycling bags will also be handed out on arrival. Please do not drop litter - bag and bin your rubbish so the recycling team can gather them up. It is a very sensitive landscape and still used by local farmers, so please respect their crops and livestock.
There are authorised catering facilities on the site, and some personal food and drink are allowed to be brought onto the site. Please bring them in a small bag - large rucksacks are not permitted. Glass is not permitted and will be confiscated - many people walk barefoot, and the livestock graze in the area throughout the year. Due to the large numbers of people who attend the event, naked flames are strictly forbidden. Small ground sheets and blankets are allowed.
Alcohol is not permitted on the coach or at Stonehenge.
