Step into the elegant world of Earl Grey – not just the tea, but the man himself. This exclusive experience invites you to follow in the footsteps of one of Northumberland’s most distinguished figures, discovering the landscapes, heritage, and flavours that shaped his legacy.

Departing from Newcastle, your journey unfolds along the breathtaking Northumberland Coast.

At the heart of your day lies a visit to Howick Hall Gardens, the beloved family home of the 2nd Earl Grey and the birthplace of the world-famous tea. Wander through beautiful seasonal gardens and soak up the serene atmosphere before enjoying a traditional afternoon tea — naturally, accompanied by a cup of Earl Grey in the place where it all began.

This tour offers a rare blend of storytelling, scenery, and taste — a refined and quintessentially English experience that connects past and present in one unforgettable day.
