Our Suggestions

Leeds Castle

Home to five queens since the tenth century, Leeds is a fairy tale castle set in a serene landscape.

Heavily defended – it was designed with three drawbridges – Leeds sits within its moat and welcomes visitors to its ancient gardens, whether it’s to stroll among the flowerbeds, enjoy a top class concert in the grounds or float overhead in a hot air balloon.

These days the castle’s features are devoted to pleasure, including an aviary, a maze, a golf course and what we are fairly certain is the world’s only museum of dog collars.

Canterbury

The seat of Christianity in England since 597, Canterbury’s ancient cathedral attracts pilgrims and visitors from around the globe.

The cathedral is still the shrine of St Thomas Becket, the 12th century archbishop murdered by four heavily-armed knights as he prayed before his altar.

Canterbury’s brilliant range of pubs and restaurants guarantee a warm welcome and Kent’s countryside villages embrace a wealth of antique shops and individual boutiques where you’re sure to find that special gift or souvenir.

Dover’s White Cliffs

Dover is the closest point to mainland Europe, and is famous for its towering white chalk cliffs. It has been a vital location in the defence of England for centuries, and boasts a castle and secret tunnels used in World War II.
