WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Leeds Castle
Located in Kent, ‘The Garden of England’, lies Leeds Castle, a beautiful medieval castle frequently referred to as ‘the loveliest castle in the world’. With 500 acres of landscaped parkland to explore and impeccably maintained gardens to enjoy, it’s easy to see why this beautiful castle was a favoured castle of King Henry VIII, who gifted it to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. In its 900-year history, the castle has been home to no fewer than six queens and served many functions, including acting as a garrison, prison and the stately private home of its most recent owners. Learn all about this and more as our expert tour guide brings its fascinating story to life.
2. Canterbury Cathedral
A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, Canterbury Cathedral is both a serene place of holiness and beautiful tourist destination. As the Cathedral of the Archbishop, the spiritual leader of the Church of England, Canterbury holds a special place in British history. No ordinary Cathedral, Canterbury has a long history that is often described as ‘England in Stone’; from the role of its Archbishops in the Magna Carta to the murder of Thomas Becket after a power struggle with the King of England, Canterbury’s history is intertwined with that of England. Founded by St Augustine in 600 AD, the Cathedral today is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England, and the first building in the country to be redesigned in this popular style in 1774.
3. The White Cliffs of Dover
Soaring 350ft above the crashing waves of the English Channel, the White Cliffs of Dover are an instantly recognisable landmark of Britain. From Caesar to Shakespeare, some of history’s most important figures recognised the towering symbolism of the cliffs. Traditionally the site where British royalty would welcome overseas visitors, the cliffs served as an intimidating reminder of Britain's immovable resoluteness sense of independence.
4. Dover Castle
Dover Castle is a medieval castle in Dover, Kent, England. It was founded in the 11th century and has been described as the "Key to England" due to its defensive significance throughout history. It is the largest castle in England.

Leeds Castle grounds were lovely and very family friendly. The Castle was focused on an owner Lady Baillie from the early 20th century which was a bit disappointing as I would prefer the earlier occupants. Still it was enjoyable.

It was a very good trip. Leeds Castle was a very pristine castle... situated in lush green and waterbody. But didnt appear like a Castle that was built to protect from enimies.

Canterbury cathedral was simply awesome, and was bearing a story of supremacy between the Church and King. A view of English channel was also very good.

Trip was amazing. Kevin was a great guide and told excellent stories. The trip was well planned and paced with great information to plan eating spots throughout the trip.

It’s a little messy to figure out exactly what you need to do at the bus terminal.

Kevin and Mohammed (driver) was amazing, numerous, entertaining and knowledgeable. I would recommend him for this tour and hoping he will be our guide for Stonehenge tomorrow. He made the drive engaging and intersecting. I would recommend him for other tours and would love to have him as a guide once again.
Kevin also gave recommendations for places to eat. A few of us in my group ate at the Vegan Box, very tasty and delicious! #Leeds, #Canterbury, #Dover, #VeganBox
