Historic Leeds Castle, home to six English queens and a playground of Henry VIII, is your destination this morning as you travel from the pier by motorcoach.
Upon arrival at the estate, follow a tree-lined stream through the grounds and across to the two islands on which the castle lies. Pass through the 13th-century Gate Tower and embark on a self-guided castle tour. Castle guides are stationed throughout the castle to answer questions. The restored rooms boast tapestries, paintings and furnishings. The castle's gift shop sells mementos.
Continue to the city of Canterbury. England's most famous cathedral town presents a fascinating mix of medieval and modern. Long stretches of the city walls survive, built during the 13th and 14th centuries atop Roman foundations. Stroll through the streets on your own to admire the architecture, browse in the many shops or purchase lunch (at your own expense).
The return route to Dover passes through the green and rolling Kent countryside, passing orchards, hop fields, woods, timbered farmhouses and picturesque cottages.
Notes:
Lunch is not included. You will have time to purchase lunch at your own expense during the tour. Bring local currency. Photography is not allowed inside the chapel at Leeds Castle. The wheelchair-accessible route operates against the flow of ambulatory visitors, requiring a split from the main group. Tour requires walking approximately 15 minutes (each way) from the coach parking area in Canterbury to the city center. Tour sequence may vary.
