Historic Attractions

One of the greatest things about life in the UK is that history is everywhere. Each part of the UK has its own historic, cultural and architectural past and with cathedrals, stone circles, museums, World Heritage Sites and more, there’s no better place to soak up some history. We’ve got a plethora of historic attractions just waiting to be discovered, so head out and discover fascinating landmarks on a historic day out.

Historic Days Out in London

London is home to some of the most iconic attractions in the UK, so why not enjoy some sightseeing in the Capital? Soak up the heritage with an educational day out exploring the city’s famous landmarks. If you love all things royal, head to the Tower of London, where you'll find the Crown Jewels under armed guard in the Jewel House! Or, perhaps head to St Paul’s Cathedral to experience a wonderful mix of religious history, striking architecture and spectacular artwork.

Famous Historic Landmarks in the South East

If you think you'd prefer to see a historic attraction outside of a big city, take a peek at our selection of attractions in South East England. Perhaps visit one of the most quintessentially English institutions in the country, the majestic Kew Gardens and Palace, nestled amidst the sumptuous Surrey countryside? Or, if you love nautical history, head to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and enjoy unlimited access to all the major attractions, which include HMS Victory, HMS Warrior 1860, Horrible Histories® Pirates: The Exhibition and more!

Historic Experience Days for Families

We also offer fantastic family days out which are the perfect way for you to spend time with your loved ones. Children and adults alike will be amazed by the English Heritage sites, country houses and castles of the UK. Hop aboard a sightseeing river cruise on the Thames to get a glimpse of the iconic London landmarks, visit Kew Palace, which dates back to 1631, or board a steam train to experience locomotive history first hand.

Nice afternoon, good value for money

we were given a Buya git voucher for 2 to take the castle tour and the afternoom Cream tea. Booking for our visit was very easy castele staff bing very ppolite and easy to deal with. It took us some time to get suitable date as the tours only take place one day a week. However on the day we ere not dissapointed. On arrival we were met by a smiling friendly person who offered us a pot of tea. We enjoyed the tour very much, a very relaxed and knowledgable gent told us about the rooms and the artifacts and pictures. Then on to our cream tea that appeared without delay. We were offered the opportunity to walk freely in the Castle gounds. Looking at their prices I would opine that the afternoon was very good value and willrecommend it to friends
