Discover some of the most beautiful towns in Kent, heading first to Canterbury — one of the oldest centers of Christianity in England. Documented in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales,
Canterbury was one of Northern Europe's great pilgrimage sites and where Thomas Becket fell victim to the church-state rivalry in 1170. Visit the Canterbury Cathedral, where Becket was slain. Enclosed by medieval walls on three sides, this magnificent building has undergone numerous embellishments and expansions over the generations.
Rejoin the coach for a short drive to Deal.
Deal has been rediscovered over recent years as one of only a few small seaside towns still evoking a bygone era. From its importance as a seaport in the 13th century to its role as a dangerous smugglers' den in the 18th century and to today, Deal is a million miles from the rat race. Closer to France than to London, it's an ideal spot for walks along the beach, lazy lunches, and friendly shops. The historic Old Town area is well worth exploring — a pristine example of the stunning character of Deal.
Notes:
