  • In this video we take you on a tour of just some of the highlights of the Balmoral Estate. At the very heart of the estate is Balmoral Castle, the private residence of the Royal family for over 170 years.
    Set in beautiful and tranquil surroundings, visitors can walk around the grounds via the numerous trails. Let our video take you around some of these trails.

    Thank you, what an awesome tour. I am 88 and permanently living in a nursing home in East Texas. With a lot of free time on my hand. This was a real treat for me! I visited And toured London in June, 1981. Loved every moment of it . i have also been interested in the Royals since 1952: as my oldest son was born in MARCH OF THAT YEAR.THE year of Queen’s Coronation. I knew nothing of the history of this castle. 😅I sincerely thank you for the historical tour and lectures!

    I can see why the Queen loved this location. Thank you for the video. I've only ever seen a photo of the castle and never realized how much the surrounding area is like the woods and meadows of western Oregon (USA). I'm glad she had a place to retreat to each year... to leave behind most of her daily responsibilities and the noise of the city. Miss her already. God bless the Queen and God save the King.

I don’t know about anyone else- but it strikes me her sudden death Doesn’t make sense - how she died 48 hours after being seen so healthy. She also was in great form at weekend with guest Rev Iain Greenshields for lunch on Saturday and dinner on Sunday. He gave her a wooden cross as he departed. Which she accepted. Then she worked Tuesday reviving old and new PM…/!:The she’s suddenly dead. No cause Of death nothing. All very fishy. What did she die of. Why no hospital intervention. What are we not told what she died of. Mobility issues don’t kill you in 48 hours!!! Anyone know anything about this ??? With Thanks x
