Leeds Castle - A private visit prior to the
castle opening to the public. The loveliest castle
in the world, set in the middle of a lake and
surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, Leeds
Castle became known as Lady's Castle, because of
the number of Queens of England who lived there. It
is also renowned for its unique museum of dog
collars and aviary of unusual birds.
Canterbury and its Cathedral - Canterbury is
England's ecclesiastical capital, where St. Thomas
Beckett, then Archbishop of Canterbury, was
murdered in 1170. Beckett's Shrine in the Cathedral
became the goal of the 'Canterbury Pilgrims' and
the town prospered on this early form of
tourism.
The White Cliffs of Dover - Finally to
Dover, renowned for its great stretch of white
chalk cliffs and castle. We may even see the coast
of France. We return to London travelling past the
Channel Tunnel entrance.
