This Tour Includes
A journey through some of England’s most iconic landmarks, this tour offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and breathtaking scenery. At Leeds Castle, you’ll step into a fairytale setting surrounded by serene parkland and a reflective lake, once home to royals including Henry VIII. As you explore the grand interiors, your guide will reveal stories of Tudor life, and you’ll even have the chance to sample traditional mead at the Gatehouse. Next, in Canterbury, you’ll wander through cobbled streets steeped in medieval charm before visiting its world-famous cathedral. Inside, the magnificent stained-glass windows and eerie crypt will transport you back to the days of Thomas Becket, whose dramatic murder in 1170 remains one of England’s most compelling historical events.
Continuing to Dover, you’ll be awestruck by the imposing White Cliffs, a symbol of England’s resilience throughout history. Here, you can visit the fascinating Fan Bay Deep Shelter, a hidden wartime tunnel network, before taking in the grandeur of Dover Castle, where centuries of military strategy come to life. If you prefer, you can customise your tour with alternative stops at Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, or Chartwell House, where Winston Churchill lived. With a variety of scenic and historic sites to explore, your guide will also recommend the best lunch spots tailored to your tastes, making this an unforgettable day of discovery.
Surrounded by 500 acres of parkland and a glossy lake, Leeds Castle is described as the loveliest castle in the world and was an idyllic haven for the royals – Henry VIII once lived here with Catherine of Aragon. During this private visit, our tour guide will show you how the Tudors lived at the spectacular fortress, and you can even sample a glass of mead at the recently refurbished Gatehouse. It also has a host of year round special events and attractions, making it ideal for couples and families.
Canterbury is knee-deep in medieval history and is dominated by its breathtaking cathedral. It’s the oldest in England and considered to be the centre of English Christianity. You’ll visit the towering structure and learn about Archbishop Thomas Becket’s murder in 1170. The cathedral has many visual treasures, from the colourful stained glass windows to the creepy crypt and is home to 21 bells in total – the oldest being Bell Harry.
The White Cliffs of Dover are a magnificent coastal site overlooking the English Channel and have stood loyally throughout invasions and two world wars. You can see reminders of this at the newly opened Fan Bay Deep Shelter a complex of Second World War tunnels hidden within the chalk. Perched on the cliffs is the historic Dover Castle, one of the largest castles in England displaying traces from the Saxon and Norman times to Napoleonic and the 20th century World Wars.
This tour can be customised with alternative visits to Hever Castle (700 years of history, award-winning gardens, once childhood home of Anne Boleyn), Chartwell House (the family home of Sir Winston Churchill) or Down House (former home of the English naturalist Charles Darwin). A visit to Deal Castle or Upnor Castle may also be of interest to you.
For lunch our tour guide will happily give you a number of options to choose from on the day.
Whether you have one day or several weeks, I will create a private itinerary designed specifically around your interests and style.
