TOUR 7: CANTERBURY, LEEDS CASTLE & DOVER (9 HOURS)
Explore Canterbury, a fascinating, medieval city which has been the centre of English Christianity since St. Augustine arrived in 597 A.D. The murder in Canterbury Cathedral of Thomas a Becket in 1170 was the focus for Geoffrey Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales.” Leeds Castle is known as “The Loveliest Castle in the World” and dates back to 857 A.D. The last private owner, Lady Baillie, an American, restored the castle with a marvellous collection of fine art, furniture, and tapestries.
Dover is best known for its white cliffs and is a busy, modern port. Dover also has the strongest castle in England dating from the 12th century.
