ROYAL & DUCAL CASTLES - Abercrombie & Kent
Experience the life of Britain’s great country
estates as a privileged guest.
The English nobility inhabit an opulent world open to only a privileged few — and
now, that includes you. I created Royal & Ducal Castles to grant our small group
of guests a peek into a life of grand country estates, fine motorsports, polo (my own
sport of choice) and, of course, five-star hospitality and exquisite dining. Following
visits to Windsor Castle and Goodwood Motor Circuit, we spend three nights at
Cowdray House, a picturesque Tudor estate where my co-host, His Grace the Duke of
Roxburghe, joins us. We finish our journey at Floors Castle in Scotland, the Duke’s
ancestral seat, as his personal guests, enjoying a special program of country pastimes
arranged just for us. Join me as we immerse ourselves in Britain’s most beautiful
landscapes and experience some of its most storied private residences on a luxury
journey you will never forget.
