George V, King Charles III’s great-grandfather described his family’s Norfolk retreat as ‘Dear old Sandringham, the place I love better than anywhere else in the world’ and George VI wrote to his mother ‘I have always been so happy here and I love the place’. Queen Elizabeth II loved it too, and ‘treasured the memories’ made as President of the Sandringham Women’s Institute. Discover what enchanted generations of monarchs aboard a Land Rover Defender for a spectacular tour of the Royal Sandringham Estate, including the Royal Station platform in the village of Wolferton.

The two-hour tour begins in the formal areas taking in the Gardens and exterior of Sandringham House, which was rebuilt in 1870 for Edward VII’s growing family. Then explore the stunning scenery of the wider Estate. Learn more about areas such as the Wash, a beautiful shallow bay teeming with wintering birds. The largest estuary system in the UK, it is internationally recognised for bird species. The whole area is rich in wildlife including deer, hare and magnificent birds of prey. Travel through spectacular landscapes, rolling meadows, tranquil organic farmland and magical forests being driven by an expert guide who lives and works on the estate, happy to answer questions about how it’s managed.

Your tour will be rounded off with a delicious Afternoon Tea made with local produce when available, and always inspired by the Sandringham Estate. Each safari is a special personal experience limited to a maximum of six people.
