Itinerary
Kent, the “Garden of England” is the oldest county in the nation, and where a fascinating history Unfolds Your route takes you through Kent, known as the Garden of England to Dover Castle. Rising above the famous White Cliffs high above the Channel, Dover Castle is an icon of England. Built soon after 1066, this mighty fortress has been the site of royal intrigue and epic sieges, and was at the centre of the crucial effort to evacuate hundreds of thousands of Allied troops from the beach of Dunkirk. With plenty for the whole family to discover
Canterbury with its fine Norman Cathedral. Canterbury Cathedral is the Mother Church of the worldwide Anglican Communion and seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Cathedral is both a holy place and part of a World Heritage Site. It is the home of a community of people who seek to make the Cathedral a place of welcome, beauty and holiness.
The 500 acres of parkland at Leeds Castle include a swirling yew maze, the famous water cascade and the Wood Garden, vivid with daffodils and narcissi in the spring. The Gatehouse Exhibition A visit to our exhibition within the ancient Gatehouse of Leeds Castle will take you on a fascinating journey through over 900 years of the Castle’s history. Each key stage of its development is captured, from early Norman beginnings through 300 years of royal ownership to Henry VIII’s resplendent Tudor Palace, then many centuries of private ownership and onto its most recent incarnation as a sumptuous country retreat. This extraordinary story is beautifully recreated through original artefacts, expert historical detail, illustration and film.
