Excursions

Each Thursday there is a full day trip to places of interest such as Brighton, Oxford, Leeds Castle and Chessington World of Adventures. Brighton is always a popular visit, combining the attractions of a typical English seaside resort with the historical interest of the lavish Royal Pavilion and the arts and crafts shops of the narrow streets or Lanes. The ancient university city of Oxford provides another memorable excursion, with a college tour and chance to have a go at punting on the river. Leeds Castle, with its moat, maze, gardens and aviary lives up to its reputation as the loveliest castle in the world. Chessington World of Adventures offers an exciting day out at one of Britain's best loved amusement parks; a thrilling way to end the week. There is also a weekly trip into London on Saturday, just 11 minutes by train from Dulwich with visits including:
