Visit to Boscobel House, The Royal Oak and Whitwick Manor

To commemorate the 371^st anniversary of Charles Stuart residing in the Royal Oak tree for the whole day, a day trip has been organised by the Battle of Worcester Society to Boscobel House and the Royal Oak, followed by a visit to Whitwick Manor.

A Whittle’s coach will depart from Croft Road, Worcester at 9.30 a.m. and arrive at Boscobel House at 11.00 a.m.  A guided tour will be offered around the house and to the tree.

At 1.00 p.m. we depart for Whitwick Manor which is only 8 miles away (approximately 17 minutes by road) and it is anticipated that the group will leave Whitwick Manor at 4.00 p.m. arriving in Croft Road, Worcester at 5.30 p.m..  .

Boscobel House is an English Heritage property and Whitwick Manor is a National Trust property.  If you are members of these organisations there will be no entry fee.  For those who are not members, I will have to see how large a response there is to the trip to work out entry fees as a discount is offered for groups of a certain number.  All timings are approximate, depending on weather and traffic.

The cost of the coach is £12.00 per person which can be paid either by cheque to Battle of Worcester Society (Charity) and posted to C A Shaw, 29 Elm Green Close, Worcester, WR5 3HD: by bank transfer to the BOWS account at Lloyds Bank, The Cross, Worcester, WR1 3PS: Sort code: 30-99-90: Account Number: 11015363 OR if you bump into Christine at the Drumhead Parade/Service on 3^rd September, 2022.  Please let Christine know by email, in person or by telephone if you would like to go onto the list (01905 358640) and also let her know if you are a National Trust member and/or and English Heritage member.   If you are not a member of either organisation there will be an entrance fee to both places.  If there are enough ‘non-members’ we may qualify for a group discount.

You are very welcome to bring friends or family with you.
