England | Summer 2025
June 25th - July 8th 2025
Join us for a family summer adventure through London, Brighton, Ashdown Forest, and Surrey!
This 14-day journey through England begins with four days in London, where we’ll explore its literary heritage, iconic landmarks, museums, and playgrounds. Next, we’ll travel to Brighton for seaside fun, from the historic pier to SEA LIFE Brighton. Afterward, we’ll spend a day in Ashdown Forest, the real-life Hundred Acre Wood. Our adventure concludes in the Surrey countryside, with visits to Hampton Court Palace, RHS Wisley Gardens, and a Gruffalo hike in Alice Holt Forest.
Day 1-4 | London
We will begin our journey together with four days in the iconic UK capital, London. While there, we will immerse ourselves in the Literature of London, becoming pirates at the Diana Memorial Playground and, with the help of a little pixie dust, flying from Big Ben to Tower Bridge. We will also try local street food, visit the Natural History Museum, and enjoy a breathing day in the city with our own families.
Day 5-7 | Brighton
After London, we will downshift from city life and take a train to “London-by-the-Sea,” Brighton. That evening, we will enjoy a walk along Brighton Beach, an evening at Brighton Palace Pier, and explore the shops and restaurants at The Lanes. Later in our stay, we will spend a day at the world’s first operating aquarium, SEA LIFE Brighton. Our final day in Brighton will be a family breathing day before traveling into the countryside of Surrey.
Day 8-14 | Ashdown Forest & Surrey
Leaving the seaside behind, we will journey to Ashdown Forest—more familiarly known as the Hundred Acre Wood—for a day in Pooh Corner. On our tenth day, we will continue our adventure in the countryside of Guildford, Surrey. Embracing the British countryside, we will visit the beautiful Hampton Court Palace and RHS Wisley Gardens. We will stay busy with visits to Hobbledown Adventure Farm Park and Zoo, followed by a Gruffalo hike at Alice Holt Forest. Tucked into this historic county, our journey through England will wrap up with a final Presentation of Learning, celebrating the knowledge we have gathered along the way.
