🏰 Замок и сады Scotney

💥 Неспешное путешествие по живописным просторам Кента начнется с очаровательного Royal Tunbridge Wells, где нас встречает **The Pantiles**, знаменитый георгианский променад с изящной колоннадой, под которой словно застыла эпоха курортных прогулок XVIII века. В воскресное утро здесь особенно людно и празднично: вдоль мощёной улицы разворачивается ярмарка с домашней выпечкой, ремесленными сувенирами и ароматом свежесваренного сидра. Мы неторопливо прогуливаемся между прилавками, заглядываем в антикварные лавки и вдыхаем воздух старинного города, который когда-то был излюбленным местом английской аристократии. 🍀 Следующий отрезок маршрута ведёт нас вглубь природы, к загадочным **Eridge Rocks** — скоплению песчаниковых скал, причудливо изрезанных временем и поросших мхом. Эта получасовая прогулка по лесным тропинкам дарит ощущение полного единения с дикой природой: солнечные зайчики пробиваются сквозь кроны деревьев, а тишину нарушает лишь щебет птиц и шелест листьев под ногами. Здесь легко забыть о городской суете, ощутив себя первооткрывателем, нашедшим потайной уголок старой Англии. Затем наступает время гастрономического удовольствия — мы направляемся в **[The Nevill Crest & Gun](https://www.brunningandprice.co.uk/nevillcrestandgun)**, паб с полутысячелетней историей, который местные жители считают лучшим местом для воскресного обеда. Внутри вас встречает атмосфера настоящего английского трактира: тёмные деревянные балки, потрескивающий камин и гостеприимные хозяева. Здесь подают классическое воскресное жаркое с золотистым йоркширским пудингом, нежнейшей говядиной, хрустящим картофелем и густой подливкой, а в дополнение — местный эль, сваренный по старинным рецептам. Это не просто обед, а целый ритуал, который заряжает энергией и настроением на вторую половину дня. 🌺 После сытного обеда мы отправляемся к главной жемчужине нашего маршрута — **замку и садам [Scotney](https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/kent/scotney-castle)**. Этот удивительный ансамбль, раскинувшийся в долине, захватывает дух с первого взгляда: на крутом склоне возвышается викторианский особняк, а внизу, среди зеркальной глади озера, покоятся живописные руины средневекового замка, оплетённые плющом и розами. Мы бродим по тенистым аллеям, спускаемся к воде, любуемся отражением башен в озере и фотографируем каждый уголок этого сказочного места. Сады, разбитые террасами, поражают разнообразием растений: здесь и пышные рододендроны, и изящные магнолии, и тихий розарий, благоухающий даже в начале осени. Мы позволяем себе раствориться в этой красоте, забыв о времени, — благо, что в запасе целых два с половиной часа, чтобы обойти все тропинки, подняться на холм для панорамного вида и просто посидеть на скамейке, слушая плеск воды и птичьи трели. Рядом с замком расположилась деревушка **Lamberhurst** — крошечный уголок старой Англии с каменными коттеджами, сельской церковью и парой уютных чайных, где можно купить домашний джем или мед. Можно не торопясь пройтись по её тихим улочкам, вдыхая аромат влажной земли и осенних листьев. Собравшись с мыслями и уложив в памяти все яркие образы, мы покидаем этот райский уголок и отправляемся в обратный путь. Дорога до Лондона пролетает незаметно — мы обсуждаем увиденное, делимся фотографиями и строим планы на новые путешествия. К вечеру мы снова в Лондоне, усталые, но счастливые, с ощущением, что этот воскресный день подарил нам нечто большее, чем просто экскурсию — он подарил нам кусочек настоящей, неторопливой Англии, которую хочется открывать снова и снова. 📝 План поездки: 📍 **08:45 Встреча** у отеля **[Hotel Novotel London West](https://goo.gl/maps/isJaR8654Y62)**, 1 Shortlands, W6 8DR (рядом с Hammersmith Station) 📍10:30 — 11:30 Старый город Royal Tunbridge Wells: [воскресная ярмарка](https://visittunbridgewells.com/event/the-pantiles-market-2/2026-10-11/), прогулка по историческому пешеходному променаду The Pantiles, уютные кафе и магазины 📍12:00 — 12:30 Легкая получасовая прогулка [Eridge Rocks](https://sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/visit/eridge-rocks) ([карта](https://dnu7gk7p9afoo.cloudfront.net/eridgerockswebmap1.pdf)) 📍12:30 — 13:30 Воскресное жаркое в лучшем местном пабе [The Nevill Crest & Gun](https://www.brunningandprice.co.uk/nevillcrestandgun) в здании с 500 летней историей 📍14:00 — 16:30 Замок и сады [Scotney](https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/kent/scotney-castle) (от £10) рядом с деревней Lamberhurst 📍16:30 Отправление 📍18:30 London, Hammersmith 👣 Продолжительность путешествия зависит от погодных условий и дорожных пробок. ✅ Включено в стоимость: ⚜️ Аудиогид на русском ⚜️ Тур-менеджер, говорящий на русском и английском языках ⚜️ Транспорт, организация мероприятия ⚜️ Профессиональный водитель с курсами IAM/RoSPA ⚜️ Администрация и помощь во время путешествия ⚜️ НДС и все налоги, комиссия платежной системы (карта/банк/PayPal) ❌ Не включено: ❌ Входные билеты: цены указаны в плане путешествия ❌ Питание во время путешествия: индивидуальный выбор ❌ Трансфер в место встречи и после завершения поездки ❌ Остановки автобуса для посадки/высадки пассажиров по пути следования ❌ [Страховка](https://www.coverwise.co.uk/) в случае травм, потери багажа и личных вещей, отмены тура в последнюю минуту ❌ [Evebus Club](https://evebus.com/ru/evebus-club/) – переносы броней без потерь, [выбор посадочного](https://evebus.com/ru/seating-plan) места ❌ Экскурсовод: £20 с человека при условии набора группы от 6-ти участников 🎒 Что взять с собой: ☑️ Воду/еду по желанию ☑️ Фотокамеру и зарядку для телефона ☑️ Хорошее настроение 🙂 ✳️ Обо всем остальном мы позаботимся.

⛰️ Сноудон 🆕

### ⛰️ **Покорите высочайшую вершину Уэльса с комфортом!** 🇬🇧 Для нашей команды это уже 67-й 📊 документально подтверждённый подъём, проведённый под руководством Mountain Leader нашей компании — Максима 🧭. В первый день нас ждёт знакомство с одними из самых красивых и интересных мест Северного Уэльса 🌿. Первой остановкой станет **Powis Castle and Garden** 🏰 — один из самых впечатляющих замков Уэльса, окружённый знаменитыми террасными садами 🌸. Первая крепость была построена здесь ещё в XIII веке из красного песчаника 🧱. На протяжении столетий замок расширялся, а его облик менялся в соответствии со вкусами его владельцев. Одной из самых старых башен уже более семи веков ⌛, а внутри замка хранится уникальная коллекция произведений искусства и антиквариата 🖼️. Powis Castle также пользуется популярностью у любителей мистики и охотников за привидениями 👻. Особая достопримечательность замка — его великолепный террасный сад, который считается одним из самых красивых в Великобритании 🇬🇧✨. Затем мы продолжим путешествие через живописные горные пейзажи Уэльса 🏔️ и проедем вдоль живописного горного озера **Bala Lake** 🌊 в национальном парке Сноудония. Его длина составляет около 6 км, а максимальная глубина достигает 42 метров. Окружённое горами и практически нетронутой природой, озеро является прекрасным местом для тех, кто хочет отдохнуть от городской суеты и насладиться спокойствием природы 🕊️. Следующая остановка — **Betws-y-Coed** 🌲, живописный горный посёлок, окружённый лесами и горами. Его название с валлийского переводится как «Молитвенный дом в лесу» и связано с расположенной здесь церковью Святого Михаила XIV века ⛪. Природная красота, спокойная атмосфера, уютные улочки, небольшие магазины 🛍️ и многочисленные пешие маршруты 🥾 сделали Betws-y-Coed одним из самых популярных туристических мест Северного Уэльса. Здесь можно неспешно прогуляться, насладиться местными пейзажами и почувствовать настоящую атмосферу валлийской деревушки 🏡. После этого мы посетим знаменитый водопад **Rhaeadr Ewynnol Swallow Falls** 🌊, который часто можно увидеть на фотографиях, открытках и картинах Уэльса 📸. Мощные каскады воды стремительно стекают по скалам в долину реки, создавая впечатляющее зрелище ✨. Прогулка рядом с водопадом позволяет увидеть его с разных ракурсов и насладиться окружающим лесом и горными пейзажами 🍃. После насыщенного дня мы отправимся в Llanberis и разместимся в **Royal Victoria Hotel** 🏨. Здесь у нас будет свободное время для отдыха и подготовки к главному событию путешествия 💤. Второй день станет главным приключением нашей поездки — нас ждёт покорение **Snowdon** 🏔️, высочайшей вершины Уэльса. Высота Snowdon составляет 1 085 метров над уровнем моря 📏, и эта величественная гора по праву считается жемчужиной национального парка Сноудония 💎. Наш маршрут начнётся в живописном Llanberis, расположенном у подножия горы, на берегу озера **Llyn Padarn** 🏞️. Мы поднимемся по **Llanberis Path** — самому протяжённому, но при этом одному из наиболее пологих и живописных маршрутов к вершине Snowdon 🥾. Именно этим маршрутом пользовались первые туристы ещё в викторианскую эпоху 🎩. Подъём займёт около трёх часов ⏱️, после чего нас ждёт примерно три часа спуска. По мере набора высоты пейзажи будут меняться буквально на глазах: зелёные долины с пасущимися овцами 🐑 постепенно уступят место каменистым горным склонам 🪨, а воздух станет прохладнее и свежее 🌬️. По пути перед нами будут открываться захватывающие панорамы на Llyn Padarn, долину Nant Peris и окружающие вершины Сноудонии. В хорошую погоду ☀️ с высоты открываются впечатляющие виды в сторону Ирландского моря 🌊 и острова Англси. На склонах горы можно встретить диких пони 🐴 и горных баранов 🐐, совершенно не боящихся туристов. Ближе к вершине маршрут становится более каменистым, добавляя восхождению настоящее ощущение горного приключения 🧗‍♂️. Финальные метры подъёма самые волнительные! Ещё несколько шагов — и перед нами открывается панорама бескрайних горных хребтов Уэльса и моря 🌅. На вершине находится знаменитое **Hafod Eryri** — горное кафе ☕, куда в сезон также прибывает исторический поезд **Snowdon Mountain Railway** 🚂. Здесь можно перевести дух, выпить горячего чая или кофе ☕, приобрести памятный сувенир 🎁 и просто насладиться особенным моментом, когда вы стоите на крыше Уэльса, более чем в километре над уровнем моря! 🎉 Восхождение проходит под руководством нашего опытного Mountain Leader Максима 🧭, который обеспечивает организованное и безопасное прохождение маршрута группой 🛡️. Для тех, кто предпочитает не совершать восхождение, предусмотрена альтернативная программа в деревне Llanberis — спокойный отдых и пикник 🧺 у подножия Snowdon с прекрасным видом на вершину. Можно будет наблюдать за туристами, поднимающимися по склонам 🔭, и наслаждаться атмосферой гор, не отправляясь в длительный поход. После горного приключения нас ждёт обед 🍽️, а затем мы отправимся обратно в Лондон 🚌 с чувством выполненного долга, яркими впечатлениями и множеством фотографий 📸, которые будут напоминать об этом путешествии! ✨ 📝 **День 1 — Суббота:** 📍**07:45 Встреча** у отеля[ ](https://goo.gl/maps/isJaR8654Y62)**[Hotel Novotel London West](https://goo.gl/maps/isJaR8654Y62)**, 1 Shortlands, W6 8DR (десять минут от станции метро Hammersmith) 📍12:30 — 14:30 [Powis Castle](https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/wales/powis-castle-and-garden) и самые великолепные [сады](https://nt.global.ssl.fastly.net/binaries/content/assets/website/national/regions/wales/places/powis-castle-and-garden/pdf/powis-castle-and-garden-map.pdf) Уэльса ([от £7.50](https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/wales/powis-castle-and-garden#place-opening-times)), время на обед 📍15:00 — 15:15 Озеро Bala Lake 📍16:00 — 17:00 Горный курортный поселок [Betws-y-Coed](http://www.betws-y-coed.co.uk/) 📍17:15 — 17:45 «Ласточкин водопад» [Rhaeadr Ewynnol Swallow](http://www.betws-y-coed.co.uk/feature_pages/item/1067/Swallow_Falls_Betws_y_Coed.html) 📍17:45 — 18:30 Путешествие по живописной дороге через долину Ogwen с видами на горы Сноудон и Трифан 📍18:30 Заселение в отель [Royal Victoria](https://maps.app.goo.gl/adVU3BYacG64nGde7) в Llanberis, свободное время 📝**День 2 — Воскресенье:** 📍07:00 – 07:45 Завтрак 📍08:00 Отправление 📍08:00 – 14:00 Восхождение на Snowdon от Llanberis (3 часа вверх, 3 часа вниз ) 📍08:00 – 15:00 Альтернатива подъему — время в Llanberis, исторический поезд Snowdon Mountain Railway ([от £25](https://snowdonrailway.digitickets.co.uk/event-tickets/76532?catID=71812&navItem=1345338)), прогулка к озеру Llyn Padarn, замку Dolbadarn Castle, водопаду Ceunant Mawr или пикник у подножия горы с видом на вершину, где увидим поднимающихся 📍14:00 – 15:00 Обед в деревне Llanberis 📍15:00 Отправление 📍21:00 London, Hammersmit ✅ **Включено в стоимость:** ⚜️ Тур-менеджер, говорящий на русском и английском языках ⚜️ Транспорт, организация мероприятия ⚜️ Профессиональный водитель с наградой RoSPA Gold ⚜️ Администрация и помощь во время путешествия ⚜️ **Восхождение из Llanberis продолжительностью до 6 часов** в составе организованной группы под руководством **Mountain Leader** ⚜️НДС и все налоги, комиссия платежной системы (карта/банк/PayPal) ⚜️ **Отель комната на одного - частное размещение** ❌ **Не включено:** ❌ Входные билеты: цены указаны в плане путешествия ❌ Питание во время путешествия: индивидуальный выбор ❌ Трансфер в место встречи и после завершения поездки ❌ Остановки автобуса для посадки/высадки пассажиров по пути следования ❌ [Страховка](https://www.coverwise.co.uk/) в случае травм, потери багажа и личных вещей, отмены тура в последнюю минуту ❌ [Evebus Club](https://evebus.com/ru/evebus-club/) – привилегии для участников программы, в том числе переносы броней без потерь ❌ Гид-экскурсовод – вместо гида помощь водителя/тур-менеджера \*\*\* 🎒 Что взять с собой: ☑️ Воду/еду по желанию ☑️ Фотокамеру и зарядку для телефона ☑️ Мелочь для чаевых и отличное настроение ☑️ Треккинговые ботинки 🥾 (обязательны для тех, кто планирует восхождение на Сноудон) ☑️ При необходимости не более одной ручной клади весом до 10 кг (40x30x20 см) ✳️ Обо всем остальном мы позаботимся.
