Useful Information
Leeds Castle
Leeds Castle is famous for its setting on the shimmering lake that surrounds it – effectively creating a large moat. Dating back to the year 1119, the castle enjoys an idyllic setting in 500 acres of parkland and gardens, which make it one of the most picturesque castles in Britain. Admire the superb collection of medieval furniture and tapestries and Impressionist art. See the aviary of rare birds, the vineyard and the castle’s famous maze.
You’ll then head to Canterbury Cathedral. Built in the 11th century, the cathedral is linked to many great church figures – the most famous being St Thomas Becket, who was murdered there in 1170. The cathedral’s Gothic-style architecture is a lasting testament to its seat as the birthplace of English Christianity. It also plays a role in Chaucer’s famous The Canterbury Tales.
Finally, you’ll continue through the Kent countryside – known as the Garden of England, with its quaint villages and pretty landscapes – to reach the coast at Dover. Here you’ll admire the White Cliffs of Dover, standing 400 feet (122 meters) above sea level. Standing tall above the English Channel is Dover Castle, England’s largest castle.

A lot depends on the tour guide - and Kevin, our's, was great! Also the weather makes a big difference. We liked Leeds Castle best - beautiful grounds and a fun few hours. Dover is just a quick stop although by that time you're pretty tired so that's ok. I would recommend this to a friend.

Our guide, Sheila, was amazing! The only bad point about the tour was that Canterbury Cathedral was actually closed on that day and we were not told about it.
