Visit To Highgrove To Meet Prince Charles
We had a tour of the gardens whilst Prince Charles chatted to as many of the WFU as he could get to speak to. I was lucky enough to have a chat with him and we even shared a few jokes whilst sipping our drinks.
The tour of the beautiful gardens was followed by lunch in the Orchard Rooms. It was a memorable day at Highgrove and a great honour to meet Prince Charles.

There are plenty of tearooms in the area. You can hardly fail to find one to satisfy you. For tea and an afternoon out, try the Walled Garden in Helmsley, homemade cakes and great hot chocolate, or take a ride over the moors and finish off with tea at the Moors Centre Danby and a walk. For an old fashioned hotel style tea try the Grange at Lastingham after paying a visit to the famously pretty village of Hutton le Hole (which also has a pet-friendly pub and a museum). Or for an adventure, go to Trenchers or The Magpie in Whitby for the fish and chips of a lifetime.
