- Approximately 4 hours
- Very limited capacity

Departing from the pier, we shall drive to the Freesia Centre, where we shall see the freesias at different stages of development. One of the large glasshouses here is kept in full bloom for us to enjoy the scent and colours of this delicate flower.
Next, we travel along the west coast and through Kings Mills, an area of natural beauty with many traditional Guernsey farmhouses, before reaching the Gold & Silversmith’s Workshop. The workshop is situated in a country lane amidst five acres of landscaped gardens. Here, at the Pavilion Restaurant, we shall have the chance to purchase refreshments if we wish.
Continuing our drive, we shall pay a short visit to the Little Chapel, before continuing our drive to the cliff top garden in St Martins parish. Here we will have time to enjoy the sights, scents and colours of the diverse plants, which thrive in the Mediterranean climate, on our private visit to this award-winning garden. We can explore independently here or we may wish to just sit and relax in the garden.
We shall then return to our coach and drive back to the harbour.
