Leeds Castle in Kent, 'The loveliest Castle in the World', discover over 900 years of history and 500 acres of glorious grounds and gardens .
Home to some of our country’s most fascinating stories, Canterbury is shaped by nature, history and its people. From Romans, to royalty, saints to knights and playwrights to pilgrims.
With free time in Whitstable, this lovely seaside town is home to boutique shops, eateries and a pleasant harbour and seafront that we can stroll along. We then travel along the coast via Broadstairs to the popular seaside town of Ramsgate, where we have a guided walking tour of Ramsgate Tunnels, the UK’s largest network of civilian wartime tunnels. We see the purpose-built air raid precaution tunnels where thousands took shelter and lived under the town, hearing stories of life underground, how the tunnels were built and how a town below the town evolved.
