The White Cli2s of Dover & Castles of Kent
The delightful county of Kent is blessed with charming English countryside and is well situated for our tour. We feature a visit to ‘The most beautiful castle in the world’ – as Leeds Castle is known, Hever Castle with its Tudor connections, and Dover Castle with its colourful history. Day 1 After collection from your home, we head to Rochester where there is lots to see and do in the historic city. We continue to our hotel where we enjoy tea and biscuits on arrival and have time to settle in before evening meal. Day 2 This morning we drive to Maidstone where we have time to explore the town and obtain lunch before our afternoon visit to Hever Castle, former childhood home of Anne Boleyn. The story of the Tudors at Hever is depicted in the many portraits around the castle. Day 3 Today we visit to historic Canterbury, with its famous Cathedral. The town centre is very compact and is best explored on foot or by horse drawn carriage. We have chance to obtain lunch here and this afternoon we visit Leeds Castle, set on two islands on the River Len and home to generations of Lords and Ladies for over 1000 years. We are transported through around 900 years of the castle’s history – in a sumptuous mix of period architecture, impressive interiors and family treasures. Day 4 We travel to Dover to visit the most iconic of all English fortresses. Dover Castle has commanded the gateway to the realm for nine centuries. We explore the many di4erent layers of Dover Castle’s colourful and turbulent history. Day 5 We depart after breakfast and travel to Polhill Garden Centre where we have time to explore and perhaps enjoy a light snack in their restaurant before returning.
