Pristine white linen and sparkling glassware adorn your table in one of our individually decorated 1930s Pullman-style carriages, which have been lovingly restored by some of the country's top craftspeople, including marquetry experts, muralists and mosaic artists.
Fine dining is a highlight of every journey and, once you have settled in, a delicious brunch with a sparkling Mimosa cocktail is served as you travel towards Oxford. In the care of your steward, sit back and relax in the convivial atmosphere, enjoying the views from your window. On the Northern Belle, the journey is as exciting as the destination.
On arrival at Windsor Eton Riverside station the Castle is a short, uphill walk from so we advise comfortable walking shoes.
Since the time of Henry I it has been used by the reigning monarch and is the longest occupied castle in Europe. The castle's lavish early 19th-century State Apartments were described as the finest and most complete expression of later Georgian taste.
Inside the castle walls is the 15th-century St Georges Chapel, a chapel built in high-medieval Gothic style. It is both a Royal Peculiar, a church under the direct jurisdiction of the monarch, and the Chapel of the Order of the Garter.
Afterwards we rejoin the Northern Belle for a Champagne reception, before tucking into a sumptuous six-course dinner during the leisurely journey home, served with our sommelier’s choice of wine.
Please note - This tour is not recommended for people with walking difficulties or wheelchair users. The road leading from the station to the castle is quite steep and cobbled.
