Be prepared for 46 steps(stairs) after getting off bus. And another 5-10 minute walk at the top to the main entrance. There IS a lift, but guide was hurrying us to the entrance. She didn’t slow down enough to realize we had fallen behind due to age! Luckily bus driver saw us and walked us Toto the entry point. Once there, we saw a LOT!

We had a very enjoyable day on this tour. Loved seeing all the history about the castle and chapel. The changing of the guards was very cool. The village was quaint. Our bus driver was very kind and fun. He drove us around the longer way so we could see the “ Long Walk” and other parts of the estate and one of Elton John’s homes.

The tour was excellent .. everything was great .. the bus was amazing .. the tour guide and the bus driver were very nice and polite ..
