Despite having a large Worldwide empire (and places named after her) What was the furthest Queen Victoria travelled from home?

Smile I'm going to guess Killarney in Ireland because the other places she travelled to were where she had established residences, Balmoral in Scotland and Osborne House on the Isle of White.

Well done D-g. a lot of sources say the furthest she strayed from home was Osborne House IOW,forgetting Balmoral is over 200 miles away...
She visited Ireland 3 times 1849,53 and 61
Like the preparations made for her 4 days stay Eek
We'd all be calling this Crawling of the highest order if that happened in 2006! Mad
